3 is what percent of 3026 - 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 3026 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 3026, so we can write it down as 100%=3026.
4. We know, that x% equals 3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3026
2) x%=3
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%=3026/3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3 is what percent of 3026

100%/x%=3026/3
(100/x)*x=(3026/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1008.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1008.6666666667) to get x
100/1008.6666666667=x
0.099140779907469=x
x=0.099140779907469

now we have:
3 is 0.099140779907469% of 3026
