What is 8.8775 percent of 275 - 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 275 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 275 is 100%, so we can write it down as 275=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.8775% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.8775%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 275=100%
2) x=8.8775%
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:
275/x=100%/8.8775%
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 8.8775% of 275

275/x=100/8.8775
(275/x)*x=(100/8.8775)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
275=11.26443255421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.26443255421) to get x
275/11.26443255421=x
24.413125=x
x=24.413125

now we have:
8.8775% of 275=24.413125
