What is 3.54 percent of 38.29 - 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 38.29 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 38.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38.29=100%
2) x=3.54%
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:
38.29/x=100%/3.54%
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 3.54% of 38.29

38.29/x=100/3.54
(38.29/x)*x=(100/3.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38.29=28.248587570621*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.248587570621) to get x
38.29/28.248587570621=x
1.355466=x
x=1.355466

now we have:
3.54% of 38.29=1.355466
