3.25 is what percent of 950.75 - 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 950.75 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 950.75, so we can write it down as 100%=950.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=950.75
2) x%=3.25
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%=950.75/3.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.25 is what percent of 950.75

100%/x%=950.75/3.25
(100/x)*x=(950.75/3.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=292.53846153846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (292.53846153846) to get x
100/292.53846153846=x
0.3418353931107=x
x=0.3418353931107

now we have:
3.25 is 0.3418353931107% of 950.75
