2641.16 is what percent of 12695 - 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 12695 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 12695, so we can write it down as 100%=12695.
4. We know, that x% equals 2641.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2641.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12695
2) x%=2641.16
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%=12695/2641.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2641.16 is what percent of 12695

100%/x%=12695/2641.16
(100/x)*x=(12695/2641.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8066001302458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8066001302458) to get x
100/4.8066001302458=x
20.804726270185=x
x=20.804726270185

now we have:
