12.05 is what percent of 752.02 - 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 752.02 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 752.02, so we can write it down as 100%=752.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=752.02
2) x%=12.05
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%=752.02/12.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.05 is what percent of 752.02

100%/x%=752.02/12.05
(100/x)*x=(752.02/12.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.408298755187*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.408298755187) to get x
100/62.408298755187=x
1.6023510013032=x
x=1.6023510013032

now we have:
12.05 is 1.6023510013032% of 752.02
