3 is what percent of 93.36 - 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 93.36 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 93.36, so we can write it down as 100%=93.36.
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%=93.36
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%=93.36/3
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 93.36

100%/x%=93.36/3
(100/x)*x=(93.36/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.12*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.12) to get x
100/31.12=x
3.2133676092545=x
x=3.2133676092545

now we have:
3 is 3.2133676092545% of 93.36
