What is 36.06 percent of 72.12 - 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 72.12 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 72.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.06% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.06%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72.12=100%
2) x=36.06%
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:
72.12/x=100%/36.06%
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 36.06% of 72.12

72.12/x=100/36.06
(72.12/x)*x=(100/36.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72.12=2.7731558513588*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7731558513588) to get x
72.12/2.7731558513588=x
26.006472=x
x=26.006472

now we have:
36.06% of 72.12=26.006472
