What is 99.5 percent of 8395 - 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 8395 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 8395 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8395=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8395=100%
2) x=99.5%
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:
8395/x=100%/99.5%
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 99.5% of 8395

8395/x=100/99.5
(8395/x)*x=(100/99.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8395=1.0050251256281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0050251256281) to get x
8395/1.0050251256281=x
8353.025=x
x=8353.025

now we have:
99.5% of 8395=8353.025
