12.48 is what percent of 4.056 - 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 4.056 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 4.056, so we can write it down as 100%=4.056.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.056
2) x%=12.48
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%=4.056/12.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.48 is what percent of 4.056

100%/x%=4.056/12.48
(100/x)*x=(4.056/12.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.325*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.325) to get x
100/0.325=x
307.69230769231=x
x=307.69230769231

now we have:
12.48 is 307.69230769231% of 4.056
