What is 13.25 percent of 885 - 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 885 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 885 is 100%, so we can write it down as 885=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 885=100%
2) x=13.25%
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:
885/x=100%/13.25%
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 13.25% of 885

885/x=100/13.25
(885/x)*x=(100/13.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
885=7.5471698113208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5471698113208) to get x
885/7.5471698113208=x
117.2625=x
x=117.2625

now we have:
13.25% of 885=117.2625
