547.36 is what percent of 3507 - 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 3507 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 3507, so we can write it down as 100%=3507.
4. We know, that x% equals 547.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=547.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3507
2) x%=547.36
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%=3507/547.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 547.36 is what percent of 3507

100%/x%=3507/547.36
(100/x)*x=(3507/547.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.4071178018123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4071178018123) to get x
100/6.4071178018123=x
15.607641859139=x
x=15.607641859139

now we have:
547.36 is 15.607641859139% of 3507
