113.21 is what percent of 3.851 - 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 3.851 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 3.851, so we can write it down as 100%=3.851.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.851
2) x%=113.21
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%=3.851/113.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.21 is what percent of 3.851

100%/x%=3.851/113.21
(100/x)*x=(3.851/113.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.034016429644*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.034016429644) to get x
100/0.034016429644=x
2939.75590756=x
x=2939.75590756

now we have:
113.21 is 2939.75590756% of 3.851
