What is 8.17 percent of 373.16 - 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 373.16 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 373.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 373.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 373.16=100%
2) x=8.17%
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:
373.16/x=100%/8.17%
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 8.17% of 373.16

373.16/x=100/8.17
(373.16/x)*x=(100/8.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
373.16=12.239902080783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.239902080783) to get x
373.16/12.239902080783=x
30.487172=x
x=30.487172

now we have:
8.17% of 373.16=30.487172
