What is 2.708 percent of 3700000 - 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 3700000 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 3700000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3700000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.708% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.708%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3700000=100%
2) x=2.708%
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:
3700000/x=100%/2.708%
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 2.708% of 3700000

3700000/x=100/2.708
(3700000/x)*x=(100/2.708)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3700000=36.927621861152*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.927621861152) to get x
3700000/36.927621861152=x
100196=x
x=100196

now we have:
2.708% of 3700000=100196
