What is 8.48 percent of 379 - 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 379 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 379 is 100%, so we can write it down as 379=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 379=100%
2) x=8.48%
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:
379/x=100%/8.48%
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 8.48% of 379

379/x=100/8.48
(379/x)*x=(100/8.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
379=11.792452830189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.792452830189) to get x
379/11.792452830189=x
32.1392=x
x=32.1392

now we have:
8.48% of 379=32.1392
