What is 8 percent of 66500000 - 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 66500000 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 66500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 66500000=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) 66500000=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:
66500000/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 66500000

66500000/x=100/8
(66500000/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
66500000=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
66500000/12.5=x
5320000=x
x=5320000

now we have:
8% of 66500000=5320000
