12511.2 is what percent of 16908 - 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 16908 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 16908, so we can write it down as 100%=16908.
4. We know, that x% equals 12511.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12511.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16908
2) x%=12511.2
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%=16908/12511.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12511.2 is what percent of 16908

100%/x%=16908/12511.2
(100/x)*x=(16908/12511.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
