What is 1.138 percent of 360 - 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 360 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 360 is 100%, so we can write it down as 360=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.138% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.138%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 360=100%
2) x=1.138%
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:
360/x=100%/1.138%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.138% of 360

360/x=100/1.138
(360/x)*x=(100/1.138)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
360=87.873462214411*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (87.873462214411) to get x
360/87.873462214411=x
4.0968=x
x=4.0968

now we have:
1.138% of 360=4.0968
