3.68 is what percent of 12.07 - 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 12.07 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 12.07, so we can write it down as 100%=12.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.07
2) x%=3.68
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%=12.07/3.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.68 is what percent of 12.07

100%/x%=12.07/3.68
(100/x)*x=(12.07/3.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2798913043478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2798913043478) to get x
100/3.2798913043478=x
30.488815244408=x
x=30.488815244408

now we have:
3.68 is 30.488815244408% of 12.07
