3.7 is what percent of 1.1 - 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 1.1 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 1.1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.1
2) x%=3.7
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%=1.1/3.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.7 is what percent of 1.1

100%/x%=1.1/3.7
(100/x)*x=(1.1/3.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.2972972972973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.2972972972973) to get x
100/0.2972972972973=x
336.36363636364=x
x=336.36363636364

now we have:
3.7 is 336.36363636364% of 1.1
