34.95 is what percent of 59.95 - 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 59.95 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 59.95, so we can write it down as 100%=59.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59.95
2) x%=34.95
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%=59.95/34.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.95 is what percent of 59.95

100%/x%=59.95/34.95
(100/x)*x=(59.95/34.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7153075822604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7153075822604) to get x
100/1.7153075822604=x
58.298582151793=x
x=58.298582151793

now we have:
34.95 is 58.298582151793% of 59.95
