What is 11.8 percent of 3327 - 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 3327 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 3327 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3327=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3327=100%
2) x=11.8%
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:
3327/x=100%/11.8%
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 11.8% of 3327

3327/x=100/11.8
(3327/x)*x=(100/11.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3327=8.4745762711864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4745762711864) to get x
3327/8.4745762711864=x
392.586=x
x=392.586

now we have:
11.8% of 3327=392.586
