12 is what percent of 1.24 - 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 1.24 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 1.24, so we can write it down as 100%=1.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.24
2) x%=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%=1.24/12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12 is what percent of 1.24

100%/x%=1.24/12
(100/x)*x=(1.24/12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.10333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10333333333333) to get x
100/0.10333333333333=x
967.74193548387=x
x=967.74193548387

now we have:
12 is 967.74193548387% of 1.24
