8 is what percent of 8375 - 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 8375 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 8375, so we can write it down as 100%=8375.
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%=8375
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%=8375/8
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 8375

100%/x%=8375/8
(100/x)*x=(8375/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1046.875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1046.875) to get x
100/1046.875=x
0.095522388059701=x
x=0.095522388059701

now we have:
8 is 0.095522388059701% of 8375
