What is 3.7 percent of 190 - 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 190 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 190 is 100%, so we can write it down as 190=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 190=100%
2) x=3.7%
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:
190/x=100%/3.7%
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 3.7% of 190

190/x=100/3.7
(190/x)*x=(100/3.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
190=27.027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.027027027) to get x
190/27.027027027=x
7.03=x
x=7.03

now we have:
3.7% of 190=7.03
