1 is what percent of 12288 - 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 12288 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 12288, so we can write it down as 100%=12288.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12288
2) x%=1
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%=12288/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 12288

100%/x%=12288/1
(100/x)*x=(12288/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12288*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12288) to get x
100/12288=x
0.0081380208333333=x
x=0.0081380208333333

now we have:
1 is 0.0081380208333333% of 12288
