329.5 is what percent of 1765 - 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 1765 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 1765, so we can write it down as 100%=1765.
4. We know, that x% equals 329.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=329.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1765
2) x%=329.5
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:
100%/x%=1765/329.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 329.5 is what percent of 1765

100%/x%=1765/329.5
(100/x)*x=(1765/329.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3566009104704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3566009104704) to get x
100/5.3566009104704=x
18.668555240793=x
x=18.668555240793

now we have:
329.5 is 18.668555240793% of 1765
