13.12 is what percent of 1171 - 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 1171 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 1171, so we can write it down as 100%=1171.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1171
2) x%=13.12
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%=1171/13.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.12 is what percent of 1171

100%/x%=1171/13.12
(100/x)*x=(1171/13.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=89.253048780488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (89.253048780488) to get x
100/89.253048780488=x
1.1204099060632=x
x=1.1204099060632

now we have:
13.12 is 1.1204099060632% of 1171
