What is 2.16 percent of 370 - 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 370 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 370 is 100%, so we can write it down as 370=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 370=100%
2) x=2.16%
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:
370/x=100%/2.16%
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 2.16% of 370

370/x=100/2.16
(370/x)*x=(100/2.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
370=46.296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.296296296296) to get x
370/46.296296296296=x
7.992=x
x=7.992

now we have:
2.16% of 370=7.992
