What is 8.47 percent of 1007 - 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 1007 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 1007 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1007=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1007=100%
2) x=8.47%
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:
1007/x=100%/8.47%
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 8.47% of 1007

1007/x=100/8.47
(1007/x)*x=(100/8.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1007=11.806375442739*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.806375442739) to get x
1007/11.806375442739=x
85.2929=x
x=85.2929

now we have:
8.47% of 1007=85.2929
