What is 13480 percent of 8.875 - 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 8.875 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 8.875 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.875=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13480% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13480%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.875=100%
2) x=13480%
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:
8.875/x=100%/13480%
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 13480% of 8.875

8.875/x=100/13480
(8.875/x)*x=(100/13480)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.875=0.0074183976261128*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0074183976261128) to get x
8.875/0.0074183976261128=x
1196.35=x
x=1196.35

now we have:
13480% of 8.875=1196.35
