What is 20.8333 percent of 8.48 - 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 8.48 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 8.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.8333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.8333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.48=100%
2) x=20.8333%
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:
8.48/x=100%/20.8333%
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 20.8333% of 8.48

8.48/x=100/20.8333
(8.48/x)*x=(100/20.8333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.48=4.8000076800123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8000076800123) to get x
8.48/4.8000076800123=x
1.76666384=x
x=1.76666384

now we have:
20.8333% of 8.48=1.76666384
