What is 4.08 percent of 3.4 - 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 3.4 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 3.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.4=100%
2) x=4.08%
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:
3.4/x=100%/4.08%
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 4.08% of 3.4

3.4/x=100/4.08
(3.4/x)*x=(100/4.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.4=24.509803921569*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.509803921569) to get x
3.4/24.509803921569=x
0.13872=x
x=0.13872

now we have:
4.08% of 3.4=0.13872
