What is 8.85 percent of 8.6 - 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 8.6 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 8.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.6=100%
2) x=8.85%
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:
8.6/x=100%/8.85%
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 8.85% of 8.6

8.6/x=100/8.85
(8.6/x)*x=(100/8.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.6=11.299435028249*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.299435028249) to get x
8.6/11.299435028249=x
0.7611=x
x=0.7611

now we have:
8.85% of 8.6=0.7611
