50.3 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=50.3
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%=335/50.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.3 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/50.3
(100/x)*x=(335/50.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6600397614314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6600397614314) to get x
100/6.6600397614314=x
15.014925373134=x
x=15.014925373134

now we have:
50.3 is 15.014925373134% of 335
