What is 10.82 percent of 978 - 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 978 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 978 is 100%, so we can write it down as 978=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.82% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.82%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 978=100%
2) x=10.82%
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:
978/x=100%/10.82%
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 10.82% of 978

978/x=100/10.82
(978/x)*x=(100/10.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
978=9.2421441774492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.2421441774492) to get x
978/9.2421441774492=x
105.8196=x
x=105.8196

now we have:
10.82% of 978=105.8196
