What is 10.47 percent of 8700 - 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 8700 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 8700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8700=100%
2) x=10.47%
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:
8700/x=100%/10.47%
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 10.47% of 8700

8700/x=100/10.47
(8700/x)*x=(100/10.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8700=9.5510983763133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5510983763133) to get x
8700/9.5510983763133=x
910.89=x
x=910.89

now we have:
10.47% of 8700=910.89
