What is 1.05 percent of 8550 - 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 8550 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 8550 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8550=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8550=100%
2) x=1.05%
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:
8550/x=100%/1.05%
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 1.05% of 8550

8550/x=100/1.05
(8550/x)*x=(100/1.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8550=95.238095238095*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (95.238095238095) to get x
8550/95.238095238095=x
89.775=x
x=89.775

now we have:
1.05% of 8550=89.775
