What is 8.63 percent of 699.99 - 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 699.99 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 699.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 699.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.63% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.63%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 699.99=100%
2) x=8.63%
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:
699.99/x=100%/8.63%
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 8.63% of 699.99

699.99/x=100/8.63
(699.99/x)*x=(100/8.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
699.99=11.587485515643*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.587485515643) to get x
699.99/11.587485515643=x
60.409137=x
x=60.409137

now we have:
8.63% of 699.99=60.409137
