79.7 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=79.7
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%=335/79.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.7 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/79.7
(100/x)*x=(335/79.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2032622333752*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2032622333752) to get x
100/4.2032622333752=x
23.791044776119=x
x=23.791044776119

now we have:
79.7 is 23.791044776119% of 335
