0.0127 is what percent of 1 - 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 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 100% equals 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.0127 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.0127.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=0.0127
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:
100%/x%=1/0.0127
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.0127 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/0.0127
(100/x)*x=(1/0.0127)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=78.740157480315*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (78.740157480315) to get x
100/78.740157480315=x
1.27=x
x=1.27

now we have:
0.0127 is 1.27% of 1
