353.4 is what percent of 379 - 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 379 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 379, so we can write it down as 100%=379.
4. We know, that x% equals 353.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=353.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=379
2) x%=353.4
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%=379/353.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 353.4 is what percent of 379

100%/x%=379/353.4
(100/x)*x=(379/353.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0724391624222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0724391624222) to get x
100/1.0724391624222=x
93.245382585752=x
x=93.245382585752

now we have:
353.4 is 93.245382585752% of 379
