3.7 is what percent of 12.36 - 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 12.36 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 12.36, so we can write it down as 100%=12.36.
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%=12.36
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%=12.36/3.7
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 12.36

100%/x%=12.36/3.7
(100/x)*x=(12.36/3.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3405405405405*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3405405405405) to get x
100/3.3405405405405=x
29.935275080906=x
x=29.935275080906

now we have:
3.7 is 29.935275080906% of 12.36
