What is 8.75 percent of 8.76 - 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 8.76 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 8.76 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.76=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) 8.76=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:
8.76/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 8.76

8.76/x=100/8.75
(8.76/x)*x=(100/8.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.76=11.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.4285714286) to get x
8.76/11.4285714286=x
0.7665=x
x=0.7665

now we have:
8.75% of 8.76=0.7665
