1.2 is what percent of 3.306 - 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 3.306 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 3.306, so we can write it down as 100%=3.306.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.306
2) x%=1.2
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%=3.306/1.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.2 is what percent of 3.306

100%/x%=3.306/1.2
(100/x)*x=(3.306/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.755) to get x
100/2.755=x
36.297640653358=x
x=36.297640653358

now we have:
1.2 is 36.297640653358% of 3.306
