1.29 is what percent of 12.04 - 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 12.04 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 12.04, so we can write it down as 100%=12.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.04
2) x%=1.29
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%=12.04/1.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.29 is what percent of 12.04

100%/x%=12.04/1.29
(100/x)*x=(12.04/1.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3333333333333) to get x
100/9.3333333333333=x
10.714285714286=x
x=10.714285714286

now we have:
1.29 is 10.714285714286% of 12.04
