What is 9.59 percent of 38.46 - 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 38.46 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 38.46 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38.46=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38.46=100%
2) x=9.59%
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:
38.46/x=100%/9.59%
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 9.59% of 38.46

38.46/x=100/9.59
(38.46/x)*x=(100/9.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38.46=10.427528675704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.427528675704) to get x
38.46/10.427528675704=x
3.688314=x
x=3.688314

now we have:
9.59% of 38.46=3.688314
