8 is what percent of 884.8 - 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 884.8 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 884.8, so we can write it down as 100%=884.8.
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%=884.8
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%=884.8/8
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 884.8

100%/x%=884.8/8
(100/x)*x=(884.8/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=110.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (110.6) to get x
100/110.6=x
0.90415913200723=x
x=0.90415913200723

now we have:
8 is 0.90415913200723% of 884.8
