What is 0.3111 percent of 42.94 - 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 42.94 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 42.94 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.94=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.3111% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.3111%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.94=100%
2) x=0.3111%
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:
42.94/x=100%/0.3111%
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 0.3111% of 42.94

42.94/x=100/0.3111
(42.94/x)*x=(100/0.3111)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42.94=321.44005143041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (321.44005143041) to get x
42.94/321.44005143041=x
0.13358634=x
x=0.13358634

now we have:
0.3111% of 42.94=0.13358634
