What is 8.75 percent of 76.12 - 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 76.12 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 76.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76.12=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) 76.12=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:
76.12/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 76.12

76.12/x=100/8.75
(76.12/x)*x=(100/8.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76.12=11.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.428571428571) to get x
76.12/11.428571428571=x
6.6605=x
x=6.6605

now we have:
8.75% of 76.12=6.6605
