0.34 is what percent of 3.24 - 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 3.24 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 3.24, so we can write it down as 100%=3.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.24
2) x%=0.34
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%=3.24/0.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.34 is what percent of 3.24

100%/x%=3.24/0.34
(100/x)*x=(3.24/0.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.5294117647059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5294117647059) to get x
100/9.5294117647059=x
10.493827160494=x
x=10.493827160494

now we have:
0.34 is 10.493827160494% of 3.24
