95.8 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 95.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=95.8
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%=335/95.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.8 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/95.8
(100/x)*x=(335/95.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4968684759916*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4968684759916) to get x
100/3.4968684759916=x
28.597014925373=x
x=28.597014925373

now we have:
95.8 is 28.597014925373% of 335
