1.2 is what percent of 1237.92 - 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 1237.92 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 1237.92, so we can write it down as 100%=1237.92.
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%=1237.92
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%=1237.92/1.2
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 1237.92

100%/x%=1237.92/1.2
(100/x)*x=(1237.92/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1031.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1031.6) to get x
100/1031.6=x
0.09693679720822=x
x=0.09693679720822

now we have:
1.2 is 0.09693679720822% of 1237.92
