What is 11.71875 percent of 800 - 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 800 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 800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.71875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.71875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 800=100%
2) x=11.71875%
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:
800/x=100%/11.71875%
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 11.71875% of 800

800/x=100/11.71875
(800/x)*x=(100/11.71875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
800=8.5333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5333333333333) to get x
800/8.5333333333333=x
93.75=x
x=93.75

now we have:
11.71875% of 800=93.75
