What is 3.08 percent of 437.24 - 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 437.24 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 437.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 437.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 437.24=100%
2) x=3.08%
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:
437.24/x=100%/3.08%
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 3.08% of 437.24

437.24/x=100/3.08
(437.24/x)*x=(100/3.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
437.24=32.467532467532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.467532467532) to get x
437.24/32.467532467532=x
13.466992=x
x=13.466992

now we have:
3.08% of 437.24=13.466992
