What is 8.803 percent of 3.1 - 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 3.1 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 3.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.803% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.803%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.1=100%
2) x=8.803%
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:
3.1/x=100%/8.803%
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 8.803% of 3.1

3.1/x=100/8.803
(3.1/x)*x=(100/8.803)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.1=11.359763716915*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.359763716915) to get x
3.1/11.359763716915=x
0.272893=x
x=0.272893

now we have:
8.803% of 3.1=0.272893
