3.34 is what percent of 0.08 - 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 0.08 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 0.08, so we can write it down as 100%=0.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.08
2) x%=3.34
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%=0.08/3.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.34 is what percent of 0.08

100%/x%=0.08/3.34
(100/x)*x=(0.08/3.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.023952095808383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.023952095808383) to get x
100/0.023952095808383=x
4175=x
x=4175

now we have:
3.34 is 4175% of 0.08
