What is 8.485 percent of 1423.52 - 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 1423.52 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 1423.52 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1423.52=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.485% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.485%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1423.52=100%
2) x=8.485%
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:
1423.52/x=100%/8.485%
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 8.485% of 1423.52

1423.52/x=100/8.485
(1423.52/x)*x=(100/8.485)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1423.52=11.785503830289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.785503830289) to get x
1423.52/11.785503830289=x
120.785672=x
x=120.785672

now we have:
