What is 38.65 percent of 37 - 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 37 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 37 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37=100%
2) x=38.65%
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:
37/x=100%/38.65%
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 38.65% of 37

37/x=100/38.65
(37/x)*x=(100/38.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37=2.5873221216041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5873221216041) to get x
37/2.5873221216041=x
14.3005=x
x=14.3005

now we have:
38.65% of 37=14.3005
