354.49 is what percent of 1774.2 - 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 1774.2 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 1774.2, so we can write it down as 100%=1774.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 354.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=354.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1774.2
2) x%=354.49
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%=1774.2/354.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 354.49 is what percent of 1774.2

100%/x%=1774.2/354.49
(100/x)*x=(1774.2/354.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0049366695817*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0049366695817) to get x
100/5.0049366695817=x
19.980272799008=x
x=19.980272799008

now we have:
