What is 8.46 percent of 844.11 - 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 844.11 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 844.11 is 100%, so we can write it down as 844.11=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 844.11=100%
2) x=8.46%
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:
844.11/x=100%/8.46%
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 8.46% of 844.11

844.11/x=100/8.46
(844.11/x)*x=(100/8.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
844.11=11.820330969267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.820330969267) to get x
844.11/11.820330969267=x
71.411706=x
x=71.411706

now we have:
8.46% of 844.11=71.411706
