3.22 is what percent of 3.803 - 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 3.803 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 3.803, so we can write it down as 100%=3.803.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.803
2) x%=3.22
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%=3.803/3.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.22 is what percent of 3.803

100%/x%=3.803/3.22
(100/x)*x=(3.803/3.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1810559006211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1810559006211) to get x
100/1.1810559006211=x
84.669997370497=x
x=84.669997370497

now we have:
3.22 is 84.669997370497% of 3.803
