What is 8.62 percent of 1300 - 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 1300 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 1300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1300=100%
2) x=8.62%
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:
1300/x=100%/8.62%
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 8.62% of 1300

1300/x=100/8.62
(1300/x)*x=(100/8.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1300=11.600928074246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.600928074246) to get x
1300/11.600928074246=x
112.06=x
x=112.06

now we have:
8.62% of 1300=112.06
