What is 3.36 percent of 1.08 - 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 1.08 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 1.08 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.08=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.08=100%
2) x=3.36%
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:
1.08/x=100%/3.36%
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 3.36% of 1.08

1.08/x=100/3.36
(1.08/x)*x=(100/3.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.08=29.761904761905*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.761904761905) to get x
1.08/29.761904761905=x
0.036288=x
x=0.036288

now we have:
3.36% of 1.08=0.036288
