What is 36.98 percent of 64.96 - 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 64.96 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 64.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 64.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 64.96=100%
2) x=36.98%
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:
64.96/x=100%/36.98%
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 36.98% of 64.96

64.96/x=100/36.98
(64.96/x)*x=(100/36.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
64.96=2.7041644131963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7041644131963) to get x
64.96/2.7041644131963=x
24.022208=x
x=24.022208

now we have:
36.98% of 64.96=24.022208
