6.95 is what percent of 35.2 - 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 35.2 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 35.2, so we can write it down as 100%=35.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.2
2) x%=6.95
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%=35.2/6.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.95 is what percent of 35.2

100%/x%=35.2/6.95
(100/x)*x=(35.2/6.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0647482014388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0647482014388) to get x
100/5.0647482014388=x
19.744318181818=x
x=19.744318181818

now we have:
6.95 is 19.744318181818% of 35.2
