3.24 is what percent of 111.28 - 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 111.28 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 111.28, so we can write it down as 100%=111.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=111.28
2) x%=3.24
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%=111.28/3.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.24 is what percent of 111.28

100%/x%=111.28/3.24
(100/x)*x=(111.28/3.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.345679012346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.345679012346) to get x
100/34.345679012346=x
2.9115744069015=x
x=2.9115744069015

now we have:
3.24 is 2.9115744069015% of 111.28
