What is 36.92 percent of 40.02 - 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 40.02 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 40.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40.02=100%
2) x=36.92%
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:
40.02/x=100%/36.92%
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 36.92% of 40.02

40.02/x=100/36.92
(40.02/x)*x=(100/36.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40.02=2.7085590465872*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7085590465872) to get x
40.02/2.7085590465872=x
14.775384=x
x=14.775384

now we have:
36.92% of 40.02=14.775384
