88 is what percent of 1335 - 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 1335 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 1335, so we can write it down as 100%=1335.
4. We know, that x% equals 88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1335
2) x%=88
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%=1335/88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88 is what percent of 1335

100%/x%=1335/88
(100/x)*x=(1335/88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.170454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.170454545455) to get x
100/15.170454545455=x
6.5917602996255=x
x=6.5917602996255

now we have:
88 is 6.5917602996255% of 1335
