What is 3.78 percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1=100%
2) x=3.78%
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:
1/x=100%/3.78%
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 3.78% of 1

1/x=100/3.78
(1/x)*x=(100/3.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1=26.455026455026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.455026455026) to get x
1/26.455026455026=x
0.0378=x
x=0.0378

now we have:
3.78% of 1=0.0378
