What is 8.75 percent of 1128.1 - 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 1128.1 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 1128.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1128.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1128.1=100%
2) x=8.75%
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:
1128.1/x=100%/8.75%
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 8.75% of 1128.1

1128.1/x=100/8.75
(1128.1/x)*x=(100/8.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1128.1=11.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.428571428571) to get x
1128.1/11.428571428571=x
98.70875=x
x=98.70875

now we have:
8.75% of 1128.1=98.70875
