What is 560 percent of 8.75 - 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 8.75 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 8.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 560% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=560%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.75=100%
2) x=560%
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:
8.75/x=100%/560%
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 560% of 8.75

8.75/x=100/560
(8.75/x)*x=(100/560)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.75=0.17857142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.17857142857143) to get x
8.75/0.17857142857143=x
49=x
x=49

now we have:
560% of 8.75=49
