355.8 is what percent of 410 - 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 410 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 410, so we can write it down as 100%=410.
4. We know, that x% equals 355.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=355.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=410
2) x%=355.8
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%=410/355.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 355.8 is what percent of 410

100%/x%=410/355.8
(100/x)*x=(410/355.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1523327712198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1523327712198) to get x
100/1.1523327712198=x
86.780487804878=x
x=86.780487804878

now we have:
355.8 is 86.780487804878% of 410
