What is 3.19 percent of 42.44 - 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 42.44 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 42.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.44=100%
2) x=3.19%
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:
42.44/x=100%/3.19%
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 3.19% of 42.44

42.44/x=100/3.19
(42.44/x)*x=(100/3.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42.44=31.347962382445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.347962382445) to get x
42.44/31.347962382445=x
1.353836=x
x=1.353836

now we have:
3.19% of 42.44=1.353836
