What is 3.86 percent of 3.05 - 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 3.05 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 3.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.86% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.86%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.05=100%
2) x=3.86%
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:
3.05/x=100%/3.86%
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 3.86% of 3.05

3.05/x=100/3.86
(3.05/x)*x=(100/3.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.05=25.906735751295*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.906735751295) to get x
3.05/25.906735751295=x
0.11773=x
x=0.11773

now we have:
3.86% of 3.05=0.11773
