What is 3.75 percent of 888 - 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 888 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 888 is 100%, so we can write it down as 888=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 888=100%
2) x=3.75%
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:
888/x=100%/3.75%
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 3.75% of 888

888/x=100/3.75
(888/x)*x=(100/3.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
888=26.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.666666666667) to get x
888/26.666666666667=x
33.3=x
x=33.3

now we have:
3.75% of 888=33.3
