355.02 is what percent of 424 - 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 424 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 424, so we can write it down as 100%=424.
4. We know, that x% equals 355.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=355.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=424
2) x%=355.02
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%=424/355.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 355.02 is what percent of 424

100%/x%=424/355.02
(100/x)*x=(424/355.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1942989127373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1942989127373) to get x
100/1.1942989127373=x
83.731132075472=x
x=83.731132075472

now we have:
355.02 is 83.731132075472% of 424
