What is 36.81 percent of 388.3 - 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 388.3 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 388.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 388.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 388.3=100%
2) x=36.81%
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:
388.3/x=100%/36.81%
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 36.81% of 388.3

388.3/x=100/36.81
(388.3/x)*x=(100/36.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
388.3=2.7166530834012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7166530834012) to get x
388.3/2.7166530834012=x
142.93323=x
x=142.93323

now we have:
36.81% of 388.3=142.93323
