What is 8.99 percent of 107 - 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 107 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 107 is 100%, so we can write it down as 107=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 107=100%
2) x=8.99%
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:
107/x=100%/8.99%
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 8.99% of 107

107/x=100/8.99
(107/x)*x=(100/8.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
107=11.123470522803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.123470522803) to get x
107/11.123470522803=x
9.6193=x
x=9.6193

now we have:
8.99% of 107=9.6193
