What is 9.85 percent of 2080 - 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 2080 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 2080 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2080=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2080=100%
2) x=9.85%
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:
2080/x=100%/9.85%
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 9.85% of 2080

2080/x=100/9.85
(2080/x)*x=(100/9.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2080=10.152284263959*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.152284263959) to get x
2080/10.152284263959=x
204.88=x
x=204.88

now we have:
9.85% of 2080=204.88
