What is 0.0845 percent of 8.62 - 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 8.62 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 8.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0845% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0845%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.62=100%
2) x=0.0845%
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:
8.62/x=100%/0.0845%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0845% of 8.62

8.62/x=100/0.0845
(8.62/x)*x=(100/0.0845)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.62=1183.4319526627*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1183.4319526627) to get x
8.62/1183.4319526627=x
0.0072839=x
x=0.0072839

now we have:
0.0845% of 8.62=0.0072839
