8 is what percent of 95830 - 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 95830 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 95830, so we can write it down as 100%=95830.
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%=95830
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%=95830/8
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 95830

100%/x%=95830/8
(100/x)*x=(95830/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11978.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11978.75) to get x
100/11978.75=x
0.0083481164562246=x
x=0.0083481164562246

now we have:
8 is 0.0083481164562246% of 95830
