What is 8.46 percent of 8 - 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 8 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 8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8=100%
2) x=8.46%
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:
8/x=100%/8.46%
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 8.46% of 8

8/x=100/8.46
(8/x)*x=(100/8.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8=11.820330969267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.820330969267) to get x
8/11.820330969267=x
0.6768=x
x=0.6768

now we have:
8.46% of 8=0.6768
