What is 3.72 percent of 1035 - 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 1035 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 1035 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1035=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1035=100%
2) x=3.72%
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:
1035/x=100%/3.72%
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 3.72% of 1035

1035/x=100/3.72
(1035/x)*x=(100/3.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1035=26.881720430108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.881720430108) to get x
1035/26.881720430108=x
38.502=x
x=38.502

now we have:
3.72% of 1035=38.502
