0.01 is what percent of 34.145 - 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 34.145 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 34.145, so we can write it down as 100%=34.145.
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%=34.145
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%=34.145/0.01
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 34.145

100%/x%=34.145/0.01
(100/x)*x=(34.145/0.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3414.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3414.5) to get x
100/3414.5=x
0.029286864841119=x
x=0.029286864841119

now we have:
0.01 is 0.029286864841119% of 34.145
