What is 3.375 percent of 287.24 - 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 287.24 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 287.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 287.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 287.24=100%
2) x=3.375%
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:
287.24/x=100%/3.375%
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 3.375% of 287.24

287.24/x=100/3.375
(287.24/x)*x=(100/3.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
287.24=29.62962962963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.62962962963) to get x
287.24/29.62962962963=x
9.69435=x
x=9.69435

now we have:
3.375% of 287.24=9.69435
