0.23 is what percent of 8.77 - 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 8.77 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 100% equals 8.77, so we can write it down as 100%=8.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.77
2) x%=0.23
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:
100%/x%=8.77/0.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.23 is what percent of 8.77

100%/x%=8.77/0.23
(100/x)*x=(8.77/0.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=38.130434782609*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.130434782609) to get x
100/38.130434782609=x
2.6225769669327=x
x=2.6225769669327

now we have:
0.23 is 2.6225769669327% of 8.77
