1.06 is what percent of 36.44 - 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 36.44 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 36.44, so we can write it down as 100%=36.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.44
2) x%=1.06
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%=36.44/1.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.06 is what percent of 36.44

100%/x%=36.44/1.06
(100/x)*x=(36.44/1.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.377358490566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.377358490566) to get x
100/34.377358490566=x
2.9088913282108=x
x=2.9088913282108

now we have:
1.06 is 2.9088913282108% of 36.44
