What is 41.683 percent of 3.6 - 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 3.6 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 3.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.683% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.683%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.6=100%
2) x=41.683%
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:
3.6/x=100%/41.683%
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 41.683% of 3.6

3.6/x=100/41.683
(3.6/x)*x=(100/41.683)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.6=2.3990595686491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3990595686491) to get x
3.6/2.3990595686491=x
1.500588=x
x=1.500588

now we have:
41.683% of 3.6=1.500588
