What is 8.576 percent of 70.4 - 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 70.4 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 70.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.576% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.576%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 70.4=100%
2) x=8.576%
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:
70.4/x=100%/8.576%
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 8.576% of 70.4

70.4/x=100/8.576
(70.4/x)*x=(100/8.576)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70.4=11.660447761194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.660447761194) to get x
70.4/11.660447761194=x
6.037504=x
x=6.037504

now we have:
8.576% of 70.4=6.037504
