0.1 is what percent of 3.29 - 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 3.29 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 3.29, so we can write it down as 100%=3.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.29
2) x%=0.1
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%=3.29/0.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.1 is what percent of 3.29

100%/x%=3.29/0.1
(100/x)*x=(3.29/0.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.9*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.9) to get x
100/32.9=x
3.0395136778116=x
x=3.0395136778116

now we have:
0.1 is 3.0395136778116% of 3.29
