3.2 is what percent of 934 - 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 934 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 934, so we can write it down as 100%=934.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=934
2) x%=3.2
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%=934/3.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.2 is what percent of 934

100%/x%=934/3.2
(100/x)*x=(934/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=291.875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (291.875) to get x
100/291.875=x
0.34261241970021=x
x=0.34261241970021

now we have:
3.2 is 0.34261241970021% of 934
