5.6 is what percent of 348.5 - 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 348.5 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 348.5, so we can write it down as 100%=348.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=348.5
2) x%=5.6
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%=348.5/5.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.6 is what percent of 348.5

100%/x%=348.5/5.6
(100/x)*x=(348.5/5.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.232142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.232142857143) to get x
100/62.232142857143=x
1.6068866571019=x
x=1.6068866571019

now we have:
5.6 is 1.6068866571019% of 348.5
