1 is what percent of 3541 - 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 3541 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 3541, so we can write it down as 100%=3541.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3541
2) x%=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%=3541/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 3541

100%/x%=3541/1
(100/x)*x=(3541/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3541*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3541) to get x
100/3541=x
0.028240609997176=x
x=0.028240609997176

now we have:
1 is 0.028240609997176% of 3541
