What is 10 percent of 8096 - 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 8096 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 8096 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8096=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8096=100%
2) x=10%
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:
8096/x=100%/10%
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 10% of 8096

8096/x=100/10
(8096/x)*x=(100/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8096=10*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10) to get x
8096/10=x
809.6=x
x=809.6

now we have:
10% of 8096=809.6
