3.1 is what percent of 1.674 - 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 1.674 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 1.674, so we can write it down as 100%=1.674.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.674
2) x%=3.1
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%=1.674/3.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.1 is what percent of 1.674

100%/x%=1.674/3.1
(100/x)*x=(1.674/3.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.54*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54) to get x
100/0.54=x
185.18518518519=x
x=185.18518518519

now we have:
3.1 is 185.18518518519% of 1.674
