What is 88 percent of 909.8 - 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 909.8 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 909.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 909.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 909.8=100%
2) x=88%
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:
909.8/x=100%/88%
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 88% of 909.8

909.8/x=100/88
(909.8/x)*x=(100/88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
909.8=1.1363636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1363636363636) to get x
909.8/1.1363636363636=x
800.624=x
x=800.624

now we have:
88% of 909.8=800.624
