What is 8 percent of 94876 - 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 94876 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 94876 is 100%, so we can write it down as 94876=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) 94876=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:
94876/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 94876

94876/x=100/8
(94876/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
94876=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
94876/12.5=x
7590.08=x
x=7590.08

now we have:
8% of 94876=7590.08
