What is 33.9 percent of 0.678 - 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 0.678 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 0.678 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.678=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.678=100%
2) x=33.9%
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:
0.678/x=100%/33.9%
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 33.9% of 0.678

0.678/x=100/33.9
(0.678/x)*x=(100/33.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.678=2.9498525073746*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9498525073746) to get x
0.678/2.9498525073746=x
0.229842=x
x=0.229842

now we have:
33.9% of 0.678=0.229842
