What is 8.23 percent of 1421.71 - 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 1421.71 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 1421.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1421.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1421.71=100%
2) x=8.23%
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:
1421.71/x=100%/8.23%
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 8.23% of 1421.71

1421.71/x=100/8.23
(1421.71/x)*x=(100/8.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1421.71=12.150668286756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.150668286756) to get x
1421.71/12.150668286756=x
117.006733=x
x=117.006733

now we have:
8.23% of 1421.71=117.006733
