What is 39.59 percent of 8.85 - 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 8.85 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 8.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 39.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=39.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.85=100%
2) x=39.59%
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:
8.85/x=100%/39.59%
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 39.59% of 8.85

8.85/x=100/39.59
(8.85/x)*x=(100/39.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.85=2.5258903763577*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5258903763577) to get x
8.85/2.5258903763577=x
3.503715=x
x=3.503715

now we have:
39.59% of 8.85=3.503715
