3.6 is what percent of 244.93 - 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 244.93 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 244.93, so we can write it down as 100%=244.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=244.93
2) x%=3.6
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%=244.93/3.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.6 is what percent of 244.93

100%/x%=244.93/3.6
(100/x)*x=(244.93/3.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.036111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.036111111111) to get x
100/68.036111111111=x
1.4698077001592=x
x=1.4698077001592

now we have:
3.6 is 1.4698077001592% of 244.93
