What is 335.7 percent of 71.5 - 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 71.5 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 71.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 335.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=335.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71.5=100%
2) x=335.7%
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:
71.5/x=100%/335.7%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 335.7% of 71.5

71.5/x=100/335.7
(71.5/x)*x=(100/335.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71.5=0.29788501638368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.29788501638368) to get x
71.5/0.29788501638368=x
240.0255=x
x=240.0255

now we have:
335.7% of 71.5=240.0255
