What is 5.28 percent of 3 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3=100%
2) x=5.28%
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/x=100%/5.28%
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 5.28% of 3

3/x=100/5.28
(3/x)*x=(100/5.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3=18.939393939394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.939393939394) to get x
3/18.939393939394=x
0.1584=x
x=0.1584

now we have:
5.28% of 3=0.1584
