Answer:

57.375

Explanation:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 675 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 675 is 100%, so we can write it down as 675=100%.

4. We know, that x is 8.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.5%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 675=100%

2) x=8.5%

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:

675/x=100%/8.5%

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 8.5% of 675

675/x=100/8.5

(675/x)*x=(100/8.5)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

675=11.764705882353*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.764705882353) to get x

675/11.764705882353=x

57.375=x

x=57.375

now we have:

8.5% of 675=57.375

hope it helpsssssss :)
