What is 8.83 percent of 6.4 - 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 6.4 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 6.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.4=100%
2) x=8.83%
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:
6.4/x=100%/8.83%
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 8.83% of 6.4

6.4/x=100/8.83
(6.4/x)*x=(100/8.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.4=11.325028312571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.325028312571) to get x
6.4/11.325028312571=x
0.56512=x
x=0.56512

now we have:
8.83% of 6.4=0.56512
