3 is what percent of 323.95 - 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 323.95 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 323.95, so we can write it down as 100%=323.95.
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%=323.95
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%=323.95/3
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 323.95

100%/x%=323.95/3
(100/x)*x=(323.95/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=107.98333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (107.98333333333) to get x
100/107.98333333333=x
0.92606883778361=x
x=0.92606883778361

now we have:
3 is 0.92606883778361% of 323.95
