Answer:
3.76 is 8% of 47
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 47 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 100% equals 47, so we can write it down as 100%=47.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47
2) x%=3.76
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:
100%/x%=47/3.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 3.76 is what percent of 47
100%/x%=47/3.76
(100/x)*x=(47/3.76)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
100/12.5=x
8=x
x=8
now we have:
3.76 is 8% of 47
