8.25 is what percent of 76.27 - 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 76.27 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 76.27, so we can write it down as 100%=76.27.
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%=76.27
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%=76.27/8.25
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 76.27

100%/x%=76.27/8.25
(100/x)*x=(76.27/8.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.2448484848485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.2448484848485) to get x
100/9.2448484848485=x
10.816834928543=x
x=10.816834928543

now we have:
8.25 is 10.816834928543% of 76.27
