50.82 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 50.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=50.82
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%=335/50.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.82 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/50.82
(100/x)*x=(335/50.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5918929555293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5918929555293) to get x
100/6.5918929555293=x
15.170149253731=x
x=15.170149253731

now we have:
50.82 is 15.170149253731% of 335
