What is 8.379 percent of 119.7 - 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 119.7 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 119.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.379% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.379%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119.7=100%
2) x=8.379%
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:
119.7/x=100%/8.379%
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 8.379% of 119.7

119.7/x=100/8.379
(119.7/x)*x=(100/8.379)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
119.7=11.934598400764*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.934598400764) to get x
119.7/11.934598400764=x
10.029663=x
x=10.029663

now we have:
8.379% of 119.7=10.029663
