354.76 is what percent of 2.9 - 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 2.9 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 2.9, so we can write it down as 100%=2.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 354.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=354.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.9
2) x%=354.76
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%=2.9/354.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 354.76 is what percent of 2.9

100%/x%=2.9/354.76
(100/x)*x=(2.9/354.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0081745405344458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0081745405344458) to get x
100/0.0081745405344458=x
12233.103448276=x
x=12233.103448276

now we have:
354.76 is 12233.103448276% of 2.9
