What is 8.24 percent of 376.5 - 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 376.5 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 376.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 376.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 376.5=100%
2) x=8.24%
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:
376.5/x=100%/8.24%
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 8.24% of 376.5

376.5/x=100/8.24
(376.5/x)*x=(100/8.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
376.5=12.135922330097*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.135922330097) to get x
376.5/12.135922330097=x
31.0236=x
x=31.0236

now we have:
8.24% of 376.5=31.0236
