35500.8 is what percent of 49306 - 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 49306 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 49306, so we can write it down as 100%=49306.
4. We know, that x% equals 35500.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35500.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49306
2) x%=35500.8
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%=49306/35500.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35500.8 is what percent of 49306

100%/x%=49306/35500.8
(100/x)*x=(49306/35500.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3888701099694*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3888701099694) to get x
100/1.3888701099694=x
72.000973512351=x
x=72.000973512351

now we have:
