0.21 is what percent of 8796 - 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 8796 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 8796, so we can write it down as 100%=8796.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8796
2) x%=0.21
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%=8796/0.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.21 is what percent of 8796

100%/x%=8796/0.21
(100/x)*x=(8796/0.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41885.714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41885.714285714) to get x
100/41885.714285714=x
0.002387448840382=x
x=0.002387448840382

now we have:
0.21 is 0.002387448840382% of 8796
