What is 3.6 percent of 37780382 - 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 37780382 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 37780382 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37780382=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37780382=100%
2) x=3.6%
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:
37780382/x=100%/3.6%
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 3.6% of 37780382

37780382/x=100/3.6
(37780382/x)*x=(100/3.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37780382=27.777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.777777777778) to get x
37780382/27.777777777778=x
1360093.752=x
x=1360093.752

now we have:
