12984.1 is what percent of 37431.2 - 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 37431.2 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 37431.2, so we can write it down as 100%=37431.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 12984.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12984.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37431.2
2) x%=12984.1
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%=37431.2/12984.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12984.1 is what percent of 37431.2

100%/x%=37431.2/12984.1
(100/x)*x=(37431.2/12984.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8828490230359*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8828490230359) to get x
100/2.8828490230359=x
34.687907414136=x
x=34.687907414136

now we have:
