What is 35.3 percent of 113.5 - 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 113.5 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 113.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 113.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 113.5=100%
2) x=35.3%
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:
113.5/x=100%/35.3%
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 35.3% of 113.5

113.5/x=100/35.3
(113.5/x)*x=(100/35.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
113.5=2.8328611898017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8328611898017) to get x
113.5/2.8328611898017=x
40.0655=x
x=40.0655

now we have:
35.3% of 113.5=40.0655
