101.52 is what percent of 12 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=12.
4. We know, that x% equals 101.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=101.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12
2) x%=101.52
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%=12/101.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 101.52 is what percent of 12

100%/x%=12/101.52
(100/x)*x=(12/101.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.11820330969267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11820330969267) to get x
100/0.11820330969267=x
846=x
x=846

now we have:
101.52 is 846% of 12
