What is 8.8 percent of 2650 - 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 2650 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 2650 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2650=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2650=100%
2) x=8.8%
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:
2650/x=100%/8.8%
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 8.8% of 2650

2650/x=100/8.8
(2650/x)*x=(100/8.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2650=11.363636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.363636363636) to get x
2650/11.363636363636=x
233.2=x
x=233.2

now we have:
8.8% of 2650=233.2
