12.18 is what percent of 999.34 - 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 999.34 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 999.34, so we can write it down as 100%=999.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=999.34
2) x%=12.18
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%=999.34/12.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.18 is what percent of 999.34

100%/x%=999.34/12.18
(100/x)*x=(999.34/12.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=82.047619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (82.047619047619) to get x
100/82.047619047619=x
1.2188044109112=x
x=1.2188044109112

now we have:
12.18 is 1.2188044109112% of 999.34
