What is 36.76 percent of 385.97 - 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 385.97 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 385.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 385.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 385.97=100%
2) x=36.76%
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:
385.97/x=100%/36.76%
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 36.76% of 385.97

385.97/x=100/36.76
(385.97/x)*x=(100/36.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
385.97=2.7203482045702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7203482045702) to get x
385.97/2.7203482045702=x
141.882572=x
x=141.882572

now we have:
36.76% of 385.97=141.882572
