12 is what percent of 135595 - 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 135595 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 135595, so we can write it down as 100%=135595.
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%=135595
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%=135595/12
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 135595

100%/x%=135595/12
(100/x)*x=(135595/12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11299.583333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11299.583333333) to get x
100/11299.583333333=x
0.0088498838452745=x
x=0.0088498838452745

now we have:
12 is 0.0088498838452745% of 135595
