636.3 is what percent of 35.35 - 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 35.35 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 35.35, so we can write it down as 100%=35.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 636.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=636.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.35
2) x%=636.3
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%=35.35/636.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 636.3 is what percent of 35.35

100%/x%=35.35/636.3
(100/x)*x=(35.35/636.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.055555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.055555555555556) to get x
100/0.055555555555556=x
1800=x
x=1800

now we have:
636.3 is 1800% of 35.35
