What is 3.06 percent of 1048 - 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 1048 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 1048 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1048=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.06% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.06%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1048=100%
2) x=3.06%
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:
1048/x=100%/3.06%
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 3.06% of 1048

1048/x=100/3.06
(1048/x)*x=(100/3.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1048=32.679738562092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.679738562092) to get x
1048/32.679738562092=x
32.0688=x
x=32.0688

now we have:
3.06% of 1048=32.0688
