What is 8.325 percent of 28.49 - 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 28.49 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 28.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.325% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.325%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28.49=100%
2) x=8.325%
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:
28.49/x=100%/8.325%
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 8.325% of 28.49

28.49/x=100/8.325
(28.49/x)*x=(100/8.325)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28.49=12.012012012012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.012012012012) to get x
28.49/12.012012012012=x
2.3717925=x
x=2.3717925

now we have:
8.325% of 28.49=2.3717925
