What is 3.048 percent of 3.4 - 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 3.4 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 3.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.048% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.048%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.4=100%
2) x=3.048%
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:
3.4/x=100%/3.048%
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 3.048% of 3.4

3.4/x=100/3.048
(3.4/x)*x=(100/3.048)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.4=32.808398950131*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.808398950131) to get x
3.4/32.808398950131=x
0.103632=x
x=0.103632

now we have:
3.048% of 3.4=0.103632
