12.76 is what percent of 95.76 - 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 95.76 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 95.76, so we can write it down as 100%=95.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95.76
2) x%=12.76
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%=95.76/12.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.76 is what percent of 95.76

100%/x%=95.76/12.76
(100/x)*x=(95.76/12.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5047021943574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5047021943574) to get x
100/7.5047021943574=x
13.324979114453=x
x=13.324979114453

now we have:
12.76 is 13.324979114453% of 95.76
