1.2 is what percent of 81000 - 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 81000 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 81000, so we can write it down as 100%=81000.
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%=81000
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%=81000/1.2
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 81000

100%/x%=81000/1.2
(100/x)*x=(81000/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67500*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67500) to get x
100/67500=x
0.0014814814814815=x
x=0.0014814814814815

now we have:
1.2 is 0.0014814814814815% of 81000
