12.15 is what percent of 2784 - 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 2784 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 2784, so we can write it down as 100%=2784.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2784
2) x%=12.15
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%=2784/12.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.15 is what percent of 2784

100%/x%=2784/12.15
(100/x)*x=(2784/12.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=229.13580246914*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (229.13580246914) to get x
100/229.13580246914=x
0.4364224137931=x
x=0.4364224137931

now we have:
12.15 is 0.4364224137931% of 2784
