0.01 is what percent of 322.18 - 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 322.18 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 322.18, so we can write it down as 100%=322.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=322.18
2) x%=0.01
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%=322.18/0.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.01 is what percent of 322.18

100%/x%=322.18/0.01
(100/x)*x=(322.18/0.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32218) to get x
100/32218=x
0.003103854987895=x
x=0.003103854987895

now we have:
0.01 is 0.003103854987895% of 322.18
