What is 70.25 percent of 3.08 - 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 3.08 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 3.08 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.08=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.08=100%
2) x=70.25%
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:
3.08/x=100%/70.25%
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 70.25% of 3.08

3.08/x=100/70.25
(3.08/x)*x=(100/70.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.08=1.423487544484*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.423487544484) to get x
3.08/1.423487544484=x
2.1637=x
x=2.1637

now we have:
70.25% of 3.08=2.1637
