What is 3.63 percent of 280 - 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 280 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 280 is 100%, so we can write it down as 280=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.63% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.63%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 280=100%
2) x=3.63%
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:
280/x=100%/3.63%
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 3.63% of 280

280/x=100/3.63
(280/x)*x=(100/3.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
280=27.548209366391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.548209366391) to get x
280/27.548209366391=x
10.164=x
x=10.164

now we have:
3.63% of 280=10.164
