What is 86 percent of 9.33 - 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 9.33 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 9.33 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9.33=100%.
4. We know, that x is 86% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=86%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9.33=100%
2) x=86%
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:
9.33/x=100%/86%
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 86% of 9.33

9.33/x=100/86
(9.33/x)*x=(100/86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9.33=1.1627906976744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1627906976744) to get x
9.33/1.1627906976744=x
8.0238=x
x=8.0238

now we have:
86% of 9.33=8.0238
