What is 1047 percent of 87.25 - 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 87.25 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 87.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 87.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1047% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1047%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 87.25=100%
2) x=1047%
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:
87.25/x=100%/1047%
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 1047% of 87.25

87.25/x=100/1047
(87.25/x)*x=(100/1047)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
87.25=0.095510983763133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.095510983763133) to get x
87.25/0.095510983763133=x
913.5075=x
x=913.5075

now we have:
1047% of 87.25=913.5075
