What is 8.85 percent of 2390 - 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 2390 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 2390 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2390=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2390=100%
2) x=8.85%
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:
2390/x=100%/8.85%
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 8.85% of 2390

2390/x=100/8.85
(2390/x)*x=(100/8.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2390=11.299435028249*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.299435028249) to get x
2390/11.299435028249=x
211.515=x
x=211.515

now we have:
8.85% of 2390=211.515
