0.43 is what percent of 8.05 - 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 8.05 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 8.05, so we can write it down as 100%=8.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.05
2) x%=0.43
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%=8.05/0.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.43 is what percent of 8.05

100%/x%=8.05/0.43
(100/x)*x=(8.05/0.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.720930232558*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.720930232558) to get x
100/18.720930232558=x
5.3416149068323=x
x=5.3416149068323

now we have:
0.43 is 5.3416149068323% of 8.05
