12.23 is what percent of 5814.3 - 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 5814.3 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 5814.3, so we can write it down as 100%=5814.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5814.3
2) x%=12.23
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%=5814.3/12.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.23 is what percent of 5814.3

100%/x%=5814.3/12.23
(100/x)*x=(5814.3/12.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=475.41291905151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (475.41291905151) to get x
100/475.41291905151=x
0.21034346352957=x
x=0.21034346352957

now we have:
12.23 is 0.21034346352957% of 5814.3
