What is 3.3821 percent of 54.995 - 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 54.995 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 54.995 is 100%, so we can write it down as 54.995=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.3821% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.3821%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 54.995=100%
2) x=3.3821%
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:
54.995/x=100%/3.3821%
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 3.3821% of 54.995

54.995/x=100/3.3821
(54.995/x)*x=(100/3.3821)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
