What is 8.516 percent of 8.718 - 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 8.718 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 8.718 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.718=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.516% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.516%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.718=100%
2) x=8.516%
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:
8.718/x=100%/8.516%
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 8.516% of 8.718

8.718/x=100/8.516
(8.718/x)*x=(100/8.516)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.718=11.742602160639*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.742602160639) to get x
8.718/11.742602160639=x
0.74242488=x
x=0.74242488

now we have:
8.516% of 8.718=0.74242488
