12.12 is what percent of 200 - 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 200 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 200, so we can write it down as 100%=200.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=200
2) x%=12.12
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%=200/12.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.12 is what percent of 200

100%/x%=200/12.12
(100/x)*x=(200/12.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.501650165017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.501650165017) to get x
100/16.501650165017=x
6.06=x
x=6.06

now we have:
12.12 is 6.06% of 200
