0.79 is what percent of 8.87 - 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 8.87 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 8.87, so we can write it down as 100%=8.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.87
2) x%=0.79
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%=8.87/0.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.79 is what percent of 8.87

100%/x%=8.87/0.79
(100/x)*x=(8.87/0.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.227848101266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.227848101266) to get x
100/11.227848101266=x
8.9064261555806=x
x=8.9064261555806

now we have:
0.79 is 8.9064261555806% of 8.87
