3.69 is what percent of 52.4 - 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 52.4 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 52.4, so we can write it down as 100%=52.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52.4
2) x%=3.69
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%=52.4/3.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.69 is what percent of 52.4

100%/x%=52.4/3.69
(100/x)*x=(52.4/3.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.20054200542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.20054200542) to get x
100/14.20054200542=x
7.0419847328244=x
x=7.0419847328244

now we have:
3.69 is 7.0419847328244% of 52.4
