What is 1.518 percent of 36.694 - 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 36.694 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 36.694 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36.694=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.518% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.518%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36.694=100%
2) x=1.518%
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:
36.694/x=100%/1.518%
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 1.518% of 36.694

36.694/x=100/1.518
