0.83 is what percent of 8.28 - 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 8.28 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 8.28, so we can write it down as 100%=8.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.28
2) x%=0.83
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%=8.28/0.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.83 is what percent of 8.28

100%/x%=8.28/0.83
(100/x)*x=(8.28/0.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.9759036144578*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.9759036144578) to get x
100/9.9759036144578=x
10.024154589372=x
x=10.024154589372

now we have:
0.83 is 10.024154589372% of 8.28
