What is 11.27 percent of 764 - 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 764 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 764 is 100%, so we can write it down as 764=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 764=100%
2) x=11.27%
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:
764/x=100%/11.27%
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 11.27% of 764

764/x=100/11.27
(764/x)*x=(100/11.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
764=8.8731144631766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8731144631766) to get x
764/8.8731144631766=x
86.1028=x
x=86.1028

now we have:
11.27% of 764=86.1028
