1. The problem is to solve the proportion $\frac{236}{100} = \frac{0.9316}{x}$ for $x$. 2. The formula for solving proportions $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ is to cross-multiply: $a \times d = b \times c$. 3. Applying cross-multiplication here: $$236 \times x = 100 \times 0.9316$$ 4. Simplify the right side: $$236x = 93.16$$ 5. To isolate $x$, divide both sides by 236: $$x = \frac{93.16}{236}$$ 6. Show cancellation step: $$x = \frac{\cancel{93.16}}{\cancel{236}}$$ (numbers remain but this shows division step) 7. Calculate the division: $$x \approx 0.3946$$ 8. Therefore, the value of $x$ that satisfies the proportion is approximately $0.3946$.
