12790.22 is what percent of 100000 - 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 100000 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 100000, so we can write it down as 100%=100000.
4. We know, that x% equals 12790.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12790.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100000
2) x%=12790.22
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%=100000/12790.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12790.22 is what percent of 100000

100%/x%=100000/12790.22
(100/x)*x=(100000/12790.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8184738026398*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8184738026398) to get x
100/7.8184738026398=x
12.79022=x
x=12.79022

now we have:
12790.22 is 12.79022% of 100000
