What is 9.15 percent of 36855 - 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 36855 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 36855 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36855=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36855=100%
2) x=9.15%
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:
36855/x=100%/9.15%
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 9.15% of 36855

36855/x=100/9.15
(36855/x)*x=(100/9.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
36855=10.928961748634*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.928961748634) to get x
36855/10.928961748634=x
3372.2325=x
x=3372.2325

now we have:
9.15% of 36855=3372.2325
