355.01 is what percent of 525 - 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 525 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 525, so we can write it down as 100%=525.
4. We know, that x% equals 355.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=355.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=525
2) x%=355.01
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%=525/355.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 355.01 is what percent of 525

100%/x%=525/355.01
(100/x)*x=(525/355.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.478831582209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.478831582209) to get x
100/1.478831582209=x
67.620952380952=x
x=67.620952380952

now we have:
355.01 is 67.620952380952% of 525
