37.65 is what percent of 1100 - 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 1100 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 1100, so we can write it down as 100%=1100.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1100
2) x%=37.65
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%=1100/37.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.65 is what percent of 1100

100%/x%=1100/37.65
(100/x)*x=(1100/37.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.216467463479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.216467463479) to get x
100/29.216467463479=x
3.4227272727273=x
x=3.4227272727273

now we have:
37.65 is 3.4227272727273% of 1100
