What is 31.86 percent of 7.997 - 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 7.997 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 7.997 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.997=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.86% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.86%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.997=100%
2) x=31.86%
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:
7.997/x=100%/31.86%
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 31.86% of 7.997

7.997/x=100/31.86
(7.997/x)*x=(100/31.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.997=3.1387319522913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1387319522913) to get x
7.997/3.1387319522913=x
2.5478442=x
x=2.5478442

now we have:
31.86% of 7.997=2.5478442
