What is 9.45 percent of 3996 - 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 3996 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 3996 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3996=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3996=100%
2) x=9.45%
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:
3996/x=100%/9.45%
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 9.45% of 3996

3996/x=100/9.45
(3996/x)*x=(100/9.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3996=10.582010582011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.582010582011) to get x
3996/10.582010582011=x
377.622=x
x=377.622

now we have:
9.45% of 3996=377.622
