7.95 is what percent of 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=35.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35
2) x%=7.95
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%=35/7.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.95 is what percent of 35

100%/x%=35/7.95
(100/x)*x=(35/7.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4025157232704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4025157232704) to get x
100/4.4025157232704=x
22.714285714286=x
x=22.714285714286

now we have:
7.95 is 22.714285714286% of 35
