What is 74.25 percent of 3.396 - 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 3.396 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 3.396 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.396=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.396=100%
2) x=74.25%
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:
3.396/x=100%/74.25%
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 74.25% of 3.396

3.396/x=100/74.25
(3.396/x)*x=(100/74.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.396=1.3468013468013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3468013468013) to get x
3.396/1.3468013468013=x
2.52153=x
x=2.52153

now we have:
74.25% of 3.396=2.52153
