What is 871.7 percent of 1.01 - 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 1.01 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 1.01 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.01=100%.
4. We know, that x is 871.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=871.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.01=100%
2) x=871.7%
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:
1.01/x=100%/871.7%
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 871.7% of 1.01

1.01/x=100/871.7
(1.01/x)*x=(100/871.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.01=0.11471836641046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11471836641046) to get x
1.01/0.11471836641046=x
8.80417=x
x=8.80417

now we have:
871.7% of 1.01=8.80417
