1.37 is what percent of 36.94 - 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 36.94 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 36.94, so we can write it down as 100%=36.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.94
2) x%=1.37
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%=36.94/1.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.37 is what percent of 36.94

100%/x%=36.94/1.37
(100/x)*x=(36.94/1.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.963503649635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.963503649635) to get x
100/26.963503649635=x
3.7087168381159=x
x=3.7087168381159

now we have:
1.37 is 3.7087168381159% of 36.94
