12.32 is what percent of 135.42 - 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 135.42 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 135.42, so we can write it down as 100%=135.42.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=135.42
2) x%=12.32
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%=135.42/12.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.32 is what percent of 135.42

100%/x%=135.42/12.32
(100/x)*x=(135.42/12.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.991883116883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.991883116883) to get x
100/10.991883116883=x
9.0976222123763=x
x=9.0976222123763

now we have:
12.32 is 9.0976222123763% of 135.42
