10.92 is what percent of 36 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=36.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36
2) x%=10.92
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%=36/10.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.92 is what percent of 36

100%/x%=36/10.92
(100/x)*x=(36/10.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2967032967033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2967032967033) to get x
100/3.2967032967033=x
30.333333333333=x
x=30.333333333333

now we have:
10.92 is 30.333333333333% of 36
