372.85 is what percent of 3.51 - 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 3.51 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 3.51, so we can write it down as 100%=3.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 372.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=372.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.51
2) x%=372.85
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%=3.51/372.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 372.85 is what percent of 3.51

100%/x%=3.51/372.85
(100/x)*x=(3.51/372.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0094139734477672*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0094139734477672) to get x
100/0.0094139734477672=x
10622.507122507=x
x=10622.507122507

now we have:
372.85 is 10622.507122507% of 3.51
