What is 8440 percent of 10 - 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 10 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 10 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8440% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8440%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10=100%
2) x=8440%
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:
10/x=100%/8440%
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 8440% of 10

10/x=100/8440
(10/x)*x=(100/8440)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10=0.011848341232227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.011848341232227) to get x
10/0.011848341232227=x
844=x
x=844

now we have:
8440% of 10=844
