What is 38.888 percent of 1017.88 - 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 1017.88 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 1017.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1017.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.888% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.888%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1017.88=100%
2) x=38.888%
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:
1017.88/x=100%/38.888%
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 38.888% of 1017.88

1017.88/x=100/38.888
(1017.88/x)*x=(100/38.888)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1017.88=2.5714873482822*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5714873482822) to get x
1017.88/2.5714873482822=x
395.8331744=x
x=395.8331744

now we have:
38.888% of 1017.88=395.8331744
