What is 8.235 percent of 7.8 - 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 7.8 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 7.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.235% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.235%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.8=100%
2) x=8.235%
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:
7.8/x=100%/8.235%
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 8.235% of 7.8

7.8/x=100/8.235
(7.8/x)*x=(100/8.235)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.8=12.143290831815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.143290831815) to get x
7.8/12.143290831815=x
0.64233=x
x=0.64233

now we have:
8.235% of 7.8=0.64233
