What is 36.14 percent of 1.24 - 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 1.24 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 1.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.24=100%
2) x=36.14%
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:
1.24/x=100%/36.14%
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 36.14% of 1.24

1.24/x=100/36.14
(1.24/x)*x=(100/36.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.24=2.7670171555064*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7670171555064) to get x
1.24/2.7670171555064=x
0.448136=x
x=0.448136

now we have:
36.14% of 1.24=0.448136
