What is 33.68 percent of 118 - 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 118 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 118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118=100%
2) x=33.68%
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:
118/x=100%/33.68%
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 33.68% of 118

118/x=100/33.68
(118/x)*x=(100/33.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
118=2.9691211401425*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9691211401425) to get x
118/2.9691211401425=x
39.7424=x
x=39.7424

now we have:
33.68% of 118=39.7424
