370.3 is what percent of 3888 - 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 3888 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 3888, so we can write it down as 100%=3888.
4. We know, that x% equals 370.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=370.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3888
2) x%=370.3
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%=3888/370.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 370.3 is what percent of 3888

100%/x%=3888/370.3
(100/x)*x=(3888/370.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.499594923035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.499594923035) to get x
100/10.499594923035=x
9.5241769547325=x
x=9.5241769547325

now we have:
370.3 is 9.5241769547325% of 3888
