758.25 is what percent of 35000 - 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 35000 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 35000, so we can write it down as 100%=35000.
4. We know, that x% equals 758.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=758.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35000
2) x%=758.25
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%=35000/758.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 758.25 is what percent of 35000

100%/x%=35000/758.25
(100/x)*x=(35000/758.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.158918562479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.158918562479) to get x
100/46.158918562479=x
2.1664285714286=x
x=2.1664285714286

now we have:
758.25 is 2.1664285714286% of 35000
