What is 11.74 percent of 0.36 - 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 0.36 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 0.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.36=100%
2) x=11.74%
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:
0.36/x=100%/11.74%
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 11.74% of 0.36

0.36/x=100/11.74
(0.36/x)*x=(100/11.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.36=8.5178875638842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5178875638842) to get x
0.36/8.5178875638842=x
0.042264=x
x=0.042264

now we have:
11.74% of 0.36=0.042264
