What is 3.97 percent of 22.77 - 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 22.77 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 22.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22.77=100%
2) x=3.97%
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:
22.77/x=100%/3.97%
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 3.97% of 22.77

22.77/x=100/3.97
(22.77/x)*x=(100/3.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22.77=25.188916876574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.188916876574) to get x
22.77/25.188916876574=x
0.903969=x
x=0.903969

now we have:
3.97% of 22.77=0.903969
