What is 8.857 percent of 625.5 - 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 625.5 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 625.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 625.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.857% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.857%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 625.5=100%
2) x=8.857%
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:
625.5/x=100%/8.857%
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 8.857% of 625.5

625.5/x=100/8.857
(625.5/x)*x=(100/8.857)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
625.5=11.290504685559*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.290504685559) to get x
625.5/11.290504685559=x
55.400535=x
x=55.400535

now we have:
8.857% of 625.5=55.400535
