What is 8.23 percent of 274.23 - 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 274.23 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 274.23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 274.23=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) 274.23=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:
274.23/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 274.23

274.23/x=100/8.23
(274.23/x)*x=(100/8.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
274.23=12.150668286756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.150668286756) to get x
274.23/12.150668286756=x
22.569129=x
x=22.569129

now we have:
8.23% of 274.23=22.569129
