3.48 is what percent of 0.9 - 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 0.9 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 0.9, so we can write it down as 100%=0.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.9
2) x%=3.48
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%=0.9/3.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.48 is what percent of 0.9

100%/x%=0.9/3.48
(100/x)*x=(0.9/3.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.25862068965517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.25862068965517) to get x
100/0.25862068965517=x
386.66666666667=x
x=386.66666666667

now we have:
3.48 is 386.66666666667% of 0.9
