What is 3.04 percent of 1331 - 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 1331 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 1331 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1331=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1331=100%
2) x=3.04%
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:
1331/x=100%/3.04%
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 3.04% of 1331

1331/x=100/3.04
(1331/x)*x=(100/3.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1331=32.894736842105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.894736842105) to get x
1331/32.894736842105=x
40.4624=x
x=40.4624

now we have:
3.04% of 1331=40.4624
