385.77 is what percent of 3555 - 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 3555 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 3555, so we can write it down as 100%=3555.
4. We know, that x% equals 385.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=385.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3555
2) x%=385.77
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%=3555/385.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 385.77 is what percent of 3555

100%/x%=3555/385.77
(100/x)*x=(3555/385.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.215335562641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.215335562641) to get x
100/9.215335562641=x
10.851476793249=x
x=10.851476793249

now we have:
385.77 is 10.851476793249% of 3555
