What is 13.51 percent of 3.7 - 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 3.7 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 3.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.7=100%
2) x=13.51%
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:
3.7/x=100%/13.51%
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 13.51% of 3.7

3.7/x=100/13.51
(3.7/x)*x=(100/13.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.7=7.4019245003701*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4019245003701) to get x
3.7/7.4019245003701=x
0.49987=x
x=0.49987

now we have:
13.51% of 3.7=0.49987
