8.25 is what percent of 28.06 - 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 28.06 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 28.06, so we can write it down as 100%=28.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.06
2) x%=8.25
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%=28.06/8.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.25 is what percent of 28.06

100%/x%=28.06/8.25
(100/x)*x=(28.06/8.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4012121212121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4012121212121) to get x
100/3.4012121212121=x
29.401282965075=x
x=29.401282965075

now we have:
8.25 is 29.401282965075% of 28.06
