3.36 is what percent of 0.17484 - 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 0.17484 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 0.17484, so we can write it down as 100%=0.17484.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.17484
2) x%=3.36
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%=0.17484/3.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.36 is what percent of 0.17484

100%/x%=0.17484/3.36
(100/x)*x=(0.17484/3.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.052035714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.052035714285714) to get x
100/0.052035714285714=x
1921.7570350034=x
x=1921.7570350034

now we have:
3.36 is 1921.7570350034% of 0.17484
