1.2 is what percent of 100.5 - 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 100.5 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 100.5, so we can write it down as 100%=100.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.5
2) x%=1.2
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%=100.5/1.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.2 is what percent of 100.5

100%/x%=100.5/1.2
(100/x)*x=(100.5/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=83.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.75) to get x
100/83.75=x
1.1940298507463=x
x=1.1940298507463

now we have:
1.2 is 1.1940298507463% of 100.5
