1212.69 is what percent of 972 - 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 972 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 972, so we can write it down as 100%=972.
4. We know, that x% equals 1212.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1212.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=972
2) x%=1212.69
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%=972/1212.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1212.69 is what percent of 972

100%/x%=972/1212.69
(100/x)*x=(972/1212.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.801523884917*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.801523884917) to get x
100/0.801523884917=x
124.76234567901=x
x=124.76234567901

now we have:
1212.69 is 124.76234567901% of 972
