What is 8.38 percent of 1190 - 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 1190 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 1190 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1190=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1190=100%
2) x=8.38%
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:
1190/x=100%/8.38%
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 8.38% of 1190

1190/x=100/8.38
(1190/x)*x=(100/8.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1190=11.933174224344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.933174224344) to get x
1190/11.933174224344=x
99.722=x
x=99.722

now we have:
8.38% of 1190=99.722
