10.12 is what percent of 67.5 - 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 67.5 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 67.5, so we can write it down as 100%=67.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.5
2) x%=10.12
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%=67.5/10.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.12 is what percent of 67.5

100%/x%=67.5/10.12
(100/x)*x=(67.5/10.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6699604743083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6699604743083) to get x
100/6.6699604743083=x
14.992592592593=x
x=14.992592592593

now we have:
10.12 is 14.992592592593% of 67.5
