What is 42.364 percent of 3.186 - 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 3.186 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 3.186 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.186=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.364% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.364%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.186=100%
2) x=42.364%
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:
3.186/x=100%/42.364%
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 42.364% of 3.186

3.186/x=100/42.364
(3.186/x)*x=(100/42.364)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.186=2.3604947597016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3604947597016) to get x
3.186/2.3604947597016=x
1.34971704=x
x=1.34971704

now we have:
42.364% of 3.186=1.34971704
