352.75 is what percent of 1236 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1236 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1236, so we can write it down as 100%=1236.
4. We know, that x% equals 352.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=352.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1236
2) x%=352.75
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1236/352.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 352.75 is what percent of 1236

100%/x%=1236/352.75
(100/x)*x=(1236/352.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5038979447201*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5038979447201) to get x
100/3.5038979447201=x
28.539644012945=x
x=28.539644012945

now we have:
352.75 is 28.539644012945% of 1236
