12 is what percent of 1328 - 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 1328 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 1328, so we can write it down as 100%=1328.
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%=1328
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%=1328/12
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 1328

100%/x%=1328/12
(100/x)*x=(1328/12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=110.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (110.66666666667) to get x
100/110.66666666667=x
0.90361445783133=x
x=0.90361445783133

now we have:
12 is 0.90361445783133% of 1328
