0.3 is what percent of 3.785 - 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 3.785 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 100% equals 3.785, so we can write it down as 100%=3.785.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.785
2) x%=0.3
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:
100%/x%=3.785/0.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.3 is what percent of 3.785

100%/x%=3.785/0.3
(100/x)*x=(3.785/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.616666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.616666666667) to get x
100/12.616666666667=x
7.9260237780713=x
x=7.9260237780713

now we have:
0.3 is 7.9260237780713% of 3.785
