8.8 is what percent of 1358 - 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 1358 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 1358, so we can write it down as 100%=1358.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1358
2) x%=8.8
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%=1358/8.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.8 is what percent of 1358

100%/x%=1358/8.8
(100/x)*x=(1358/8.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=154.31818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (154.31818181818) to get x
100/154.31818181818=x
0.6480117820324=x
x=0.6480117820324

now we have:
8.8 is 0.6480117820324% of 1358
