What is 7.96 percent of 3.85 - 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 3.85 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 3.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.85=100%
2) x=7.96%
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:
3.85/x=100%/7.96%
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 7.96% of 3.85

3.85/x=100/7.96
(3.85/x)*x=(100/7.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.85=12.562814070352*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.562814070352) to get x
3.85/12.562814070352=x
0.30646=x
x=0.30646

now we have:
7.96% of 3.85=0.30646
