What is 35.5 percent of 377 - 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 377 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 377 is 100%, so we can write it down as 377=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 377=100%
2) x=35.5%
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:
377/x=100%/35.5%
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 35.5% of 377

377/x=100/35.5
(377/x)*x=(100/35.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
377=2.8169014084507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8169014084507) to get x
377/2.8169014084507=x
133.835=x
x=133.835

now we have:
35.5% of 377=133.835
