What is 1.186 percent of 3.585 - 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 3.585 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 3.585 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.585=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.186% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.186%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.585=100%
2) x=1.186%
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:
3.585/x=100%/1.186%
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 1.186% of 3.585

3.585/x=100/1.186
(3.585/x)*x=(100/1.186)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.585=84.317032040472*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.317032040472) to get x
3.585/84.317032040472=x
0.0425181=x
x=0.0425181

now we have:
1.186% of 3.585=0.0425181
