What is 7.38 percent of 108 - 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 108 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 108 is 100%, so we can write it down as 108=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 108=100%
2) x=7.38%
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:
108/x=100%/7.38%
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 7.38% of 108

108/x=100/7.38
(108/x)*x=(100/7.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
108=13.550135501355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.550135501355) to get x
108/13.550135501355=x
7.9704=x
x=7.9704

now we have:
7.38% of 108=7.9704
