What is 289.7 percent of 8.8 - 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 8.8 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 8.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 289.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=289.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.8=100%
2) x=289.7%
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:
8.8/x=100%/289.7%
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 289.7% of 8.8

8.8/x=100/289.7
(8.8/x)*x=(100/289.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.8=0.34518467380048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.34518467380048) to get x
8.8/0.34518467380048=x
25.4936=x
x=25.4936

now we have:
289.7% of 8.8=25.4936
