What is 8.95 percent of 23.45 - 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 23.45 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 23.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.45=100%
2) x=8.95%
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:
23.45/x=100%/8.95%
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 8.95% of 23.45

23.45/x=100/8.95
(23.45/x)*x=(100/8.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.45=11.173184357542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.173184357542) to get x
23.45/11.173184357542=x
2.098775=x
x=2.098775

now we have:
8.95% of 23.45=2.098775
