10.5 is what percent of 864.74 - 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 864.74 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 864.74, so we can write it down as 100%=864.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=864.74
2) x%=10.5
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%=864.74/10.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.5 is what percent of 864.74

100%/x%=864.74/10.5
(100/x)*x=(864.74/10.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=82.35619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (82.35619047619) to get x
100/82.35619047619=x
1.2142378055832=x
x=1.2142378055832

now we have:
10.5 is 1.2142378055832% of 864.74
