38 is what percent of 356000 - 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 356000 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 356000, so we can write it down as 100%=356000.
4. We know, that x% equals 38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=356000
2) x%=38
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%=356000/38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38 is what percent of 356000

100%/x%=356000/38
(100/x)*x=(356000/38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9368.4210526316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9368.4210526316) to get x
100/9368.4210526316=x
0.010674157303371=x
x=0.010674157303371

now we have:
38 is 0.010674157303371% of 356000
