8 is what percent of 13125 - 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 13125 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 13125, so we can write it down as 100%=13125.
4. We know, that x% equals 8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13125
2) x%=8
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%=13125/8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8 is what percent of 13125

100%/x%=13125/8
(100/x)*x=(13125/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1640.625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1640.625) to get x
100/1640.625=x
0.060952380952381=x
x=0.060952380952381

now we have:
8 is 0.060952380952381% of 13125
