3.14 is what percent of 2.36 - 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 2.36 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 2.36, so we can write it down as 100%=2.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.36
2) x%=3.14
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%=2.36/3.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.14 is what percent of 2.36

100%/x%=2.36/3.14
(100/x)*x=(2.36/3.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.7515923566879*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.7515923566879) to get x
100/0.7515923566879=x
133.05084745763=x
x=133.05084745763

now we have:
3.14 is 133.05084745763% of 2.36
