1.2 is what percent of 79.992 - 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 79.992 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 79.992, so we can write it down as 100%=79.992.
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%=79.992
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%=79.992/1.2
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 79.992

100%/x%=79.992/1.2
(100/x)*x=(79.992/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.66*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.66) to get x
100/66.66=x
1.5001500150015=x
x=1.5001500150015

now we have:
1.2 is 1.5001500150015% of 79.992
