What is 9.33333 percent of 37.5 - 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 37.5 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 37.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.33333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.33333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37.5=100%
2) x=9.33333%
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:
37.5/x=100%/9.33333%
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 9.33333% of 37.5

37.5/x=100/9.33333
(37.5/x)*x=(100/9.33333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37.5=10.714289540818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.714289540818) to get x
37.5/10.714289540818=x
3.49999875=x
x=3.49999875

now we have:
9.33333% of 37.5=3.49999875
