79 is what percent of 352000 - 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 352000 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 352000, so we can write it down as 100%=352000.
4. We know, that x% equals 79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=352000
2) x%=79
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%=352000/79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79 is what percent of 352000

100%/x%=352000/79
(100/x)*x=(352000/79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4455.6962025316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4455.6962025316) to get x
100/4455.6962025316=x
0.022443181818182=x
x=0.022443181818182

now we have:
79 is 0.022443181818182% of 352000
