What is 3 percent of 9.22 - 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 9.22 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 9.22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9.22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9.22=100%
2) x=3%
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:
9.22/x=100%/3%
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 3% of 9.22

9.22/x=100/3
(9.22/x)*x=(100/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9.22=33.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.333333333333) to get x
9.22/33.333333333333=x
0.2766=x
x=0.2766

now we have:
3% of 9.22=0.2766
