12500 is what percent of 30.012 - 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 30.012 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 30.012, so we can write it down as 100%=30.012.
4. We know, that x% equals 12500 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12500.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.012
2) x%=12500
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%=30.012/12500
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12500 is what percent of 30.012

100%/x%=30.012/12500
(100/x)*x=(30.012/12500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00240096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00240096) to get x
100/0.00240096=x
41650.006664001=x
x=41650.006664001

now we have:
12500 is 41650.006664001% of 30.012
