8.36 is what percent of 220.01 - 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 220.01 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 220.01, so we can write it down as 100%=220.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=220.01
2) x%=8.36
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%=220.01/8.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.36 is what percent of 220.01

100%/x%=220.01/8.36
(100/x)*x=(220.01/8.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.316985645933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.316985645933) to get x
100/26.316985645933=x
3.7998272805782=x
x=3.7998272805782

now we have:
8.36 is 3.7998272805782% of 220.01
