1.02 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 1.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.28
2) x%=1.02
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%=8.28/1.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.02 is what percent of 8.28

100%/x%=8.28/1.02
(100/x)*x=(8.28/1.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1176470588235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1176470588235) to get x
100/8.1176470588235=x
12.31884057971=x
x=12.31884057971

now we have:
1.02 is 12.31884057971% of 8.28
