65.35 is what percent of 35.55 - 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 35.55 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 35.55, so we can write it down as 100%=35.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.55
2) x%=65.35
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%=35.55/65.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.35 is what percent of 35.55

100%/x%=35.55/65.35
(100/x)*x=(35.55/65.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.54399387911247*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54399387911247) to get x
100/0.54399387911247=x
183.82559774965=x
x=183.82559774965

now we have:
65.35 is 183.82559774965% of 35.55
