356.72 is what percent of 7072 - 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 7072 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 7072, so we can write it down as 100%=7072.
4. We know, that x% equals 356.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=356.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7072
2) x%=356.72
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%=7072/356.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 356.72 is what percent of 7072

100%/x%=7072/356.72
(100/x)*x=(7072/356.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.825072886297*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.825072886297) to get x
100/19.825072886297=x
5.0441176470588=x
x=5.0441176470588

now we have:
356.72 is 5.0441176470588% of 7072
