What is 3.31 percent of 13.61 - 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 13.61 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 13.61 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.61=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.61=100%
2) x=3.31%
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:
13.61/x=100%/3.31%
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 3.31% of 13.61

13.61/x=100/3.31
(13.61/x)*x=(100/3.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.61=30.211480362538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.211480362538) to get x
13.61/30.211480362538=x
0.450491=x
x=0.450491

now we have:
3.31% of 13.61=0.450491
