What is 11300 percent of 8.7 - 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 8.7 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 8.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11300% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11300%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.7=100%
2) x=11300%
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:
8.7/x=100%/11300%
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 11300% of 8.7

8.7/x=100/11300
(8.7/x)*x=(100/11300)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.7=0.0088495575221239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0088495575221239) to get x
8.7/0.0088495575221239=x
983.1=x
x=983.1

now we have:
11300% of 8.7=983.1
