435.98 is what percent of 157.32 - 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 157.32 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 157.32, so we can write it down as 100%=157.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 435.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=435.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=157.32
2) x%=435.98
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%=157.32/435.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 435.98 is what percent of 157.32

100%/x%=157.32/435.98
(100/x)*x=(157.32/435.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.36084224046975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.36084224046975) to get x
100/0.36084224046975=x
277.12941774727=x
x=277.12941774727

now we have:
