8.34 is what percent of 89 - 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 89 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 89, so we can write it down as 100%=89.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=89
2) x%=8.34
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%=89/8.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.34 is what percent of 89

100%/x%=89/8.34
(100/x)*x=(89/8.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.671462829736*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.671462829736) to get x
100/10.671462829736=x
9.3707865168539=x
x=9.3707865168539

now we have:
8.34 is 9.3707865168539% of 89
