8.14 is what percent of 392.75 - 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 392.75 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 392.75, so we can write it down as 100%=392.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=392.75
2) x%=8.14
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%=392.75/8.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.14 is what percent of 392.75

100%/x%=392.75/8.14
(100/x)*x=(392.75/8.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=48.249385749386*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.249385749386) to get x
100/48.249385749386=x
2.0725652450668=x
x=2.0725652450668

now we have:
8.14 is 2.0725652450668% of 392.75
