357634.52 is what percent of 0.85 - 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 0.85 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 0.85, so we can write it down as 100%=0.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 357634.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=357634.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.85
2) x%=357634.52
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%=0.85/357634.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 357634.52 is what percent of 0.85

100%/x%=0.85/357634.52
(100/x)*x=(0.85/357634.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3767280630516E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3767280630516E-6) to get x
100/2.3767280630516E-6=x
42074649.411765=x
x=42074649.411765

now we have:
357634.52 is 42074649.411765% of 0.85
