3.17 is what percent of 2924.02 - 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 2924.02 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 2924.02, so we can write it down as 100%=2924.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2924.02
2) x%=3.17
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%=2924.02/3.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.17 is what percent of 2924.02

100%/x%=2924.02/3.17
(100/x)*x=(2924.02/3.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=922.40378548896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (922.40378548896) to get x
100/922.40378548896=x
0.10841239116012=x
x=0.10841239116012

now we have:
3.17 is 0.10841239116012% of 2924.02
