What is 34.702 percent of 118.32 - 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 118.32 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 118.32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118.32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.702% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.702%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118.32=100%
2) x=34.702%
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:
118.32/x=100%/34.702%
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 34.702% of 118.32

118.32/x=100/34.702
(118.32/x)*x=(100/34.702)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
118.32=2.8816782894358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8816782894358) to get x
118.32/2.8816782894358=x
41.0594064=x
x=41.0594064

now we have:
