0.03 is what percent of 3274 - 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 3274 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 3274, so we can write it down as 100%=3274.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3274
2) x%=0.03
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%=3274/0.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.03 is what percent of 3274

100%/x%=3274/0.03
(100/x)*x=(3274/0.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=109133.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (109133.33333333) to get x
100/109133.33333333=x
0.00091631032376298=x
x=0.00091631032376298

now we have:
0.03 is 0.00091631032376298% of 3274
