12.54 is what percent of 109.93 - 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 109.93 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 109.93, so we can write it down as 100%=109.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=109.93
2) x%=12.54
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%=109.93/12.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.54 is what percent of 109.93

100%/x%=109.93/12.54
(100/x)*x=(109.93/12.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.7663476874003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7663476874003) to get x
100/8.7663476874003=x
11.407259164923=x
x=11.407259164923

now we have:
12.54 is 11.407259164923% of 109.93
