12.32 is what percent of 1425.41 - 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 1425.41 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 1425.41, so we can write it down as 100%=1425.41.
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%=1425.41
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%=1425.41/12.32
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 1425.41

100%/x%=1425.41/12.32
(100/x)*x=(1425.41/12.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=115.69886363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (115.69886363636) to get x
100/115.69886363636=x
0.86431272405834=x
x=0.86431272405834

now we have:
12.32 is 0.86431272405834% of 1425.41
