0.75 is what percent of 12650 - 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 12650 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 12650, so we can write it down as 100%=12650.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12650
2) x%=0.75
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%=12650/0.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.75 is what percent of 12650

100%/x%=12650/0.75
(100/x)*x=(12650/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16866.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16866.666666667) to get x
100/16866.666666667=x
0.0059288537549407=x
x=0.0059288537549407

now we have:
0.75 is 0.0059288537549407% of 12650
