38.08 is what percent of 374.88 - 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 374.88 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 374.88, so we can write it down as 100%=374.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=374.88
2) x%=38.08
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%=374.88/38.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.08 is what percent of 374.88

100%/x%=374.88/38.08
(100/x)*x=(374.88/38.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.8445378151261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8445378151261) to get x
100/9.8445378151261=x
10.157917200171=x
x=10.157917200171

now we have:
38.08 is 10.157917200171% of 374.88
