Question: 0.5 is what percent of 3?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 3 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=3$100%=3.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=0.5$x%=0.5.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=3(1)$100%=3(1).
$x\%=0.5(2)$x%=0.5(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{3}{0.5}$
100%
x%=
3
0.5
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{0.5}{3}$
x%
100%=
0.5
3
$\Rightarrow x=16.666666666667\%$⇒x=16.666666666667%
Therefore, $0.5$0.5 is $16.666666666667\%$16.666666666667% of $3$3.
