What is 37.4 percent of 3336 - 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 3336 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 3336 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3336=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3336=100%
2) x=37.4%
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:
3336/x=100%/37.4%
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 37.4% of 3336

3336/x=100/37.4
(3336/x)*x=(100/37.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3336=2.6737967914439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6737967914439) to get x
3336/2.6737967914439=x
1247.664=x
x=1247.664

now we have:
37.4% of 3336=1247.664
