What is 8 percent of 913.45 - 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 913.45 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 913.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 913.45=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) 913.45=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:
913.45/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 913.45

913.45/x=100/8
(913.45/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
913.45=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
913.45/12.5=x
73.076=x
x=73.076

now we have:
8% of 913.45=73.076
