What is 8.023 percent of 156 - 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 156 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 156 is 100%, so we can write it down as 156=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.023% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.023%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 156=100%
2) x=8.023%
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:
156/x=100%/8.023%
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 8.023% of 156

156/x=100/8.023
(156/x)*x=(100/8.023)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
156=12.464165524118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.464165524118) to get x
156/12.464165524118=x
12.51588=x
x=12.51588

now we have:
8.023% of 156=12.51588
