3.71 is what percent of 108.95 - 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 108.95 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 108.95, so we can write it down as 100%=108.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=108.95
2) x%=3.71
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%=108.95/3.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.71 is what percent of 108.95

100%/x%=108.95/3.71
(100/x)*x=(108.95/3.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.366576819407*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.366576819407) to get x
100/29.366576819407=x
3.405231757687=x
x=3.405231757687

now we have:
3.71 is 3.405231757687% of 108.95
