What is 2.92 percent of 327.85 - 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 327.85 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 327.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 327.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 327.85=100%
2) x=2.92%
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:
327.85/x=100%/2.92%
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 2.92% of 327.85

327.85/x=100/2.92
(327.85/x)*x=(100/2.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
327.85=34.246575342466*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.246575342466) to get x
327.85/34.246575342466=x
9.57322=x
x=9.57322

now we have:
2.92% of 327.85=9.57322
