What is 85.65 percent of 10.5 - 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 10.5 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 10.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 85.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=85.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10.5=100%
2) x=85.65%
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:
10.5/x=100%/85.65%
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 85.65% of 10.5

10.5/x=100/85.65
(10.5/x)*x=(100/85.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10.5=1.1675423234092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1675423234092) to get x
10.5/1.1675423234092=x
8.99325=x
x=8.99325

now we have:
85.65% of 10.5=8.99325
