What is 358 percent of 21 - 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 21 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 21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 358% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=358%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21=100%
2) x=358%
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:
21/x=100%/358%
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 358% of 21

21/x=100/358
(21/x)*x=(100/358)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21=0.27932960893855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27932960893855) to get x
21/0.27932960893855=x
75.18=x
x=75.18

now we have:
358% of 21=75.18
