What is 8 percent of 10683 - 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 10683 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 10683 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10683=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10683=100%
2) x=8%
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:
10683/x=100%/8%
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 8% of 10683

10683/x=100/8
(10683/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10683=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
10683/12.5=x
854.64=x
x=854.64

now we have:
8% of 10683=854.64
