3.27 is what percent of 12.48 - 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 12.48 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 12.48, so we can write it down as 100%=12.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.48
2) x%=3.27
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%=12.48/3.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.27 is what percent of 12.48

100%/x%=12.48/3.27
(100/x)*x=(12.48/3.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.81651376147*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.81651376147) to get x
100/3.81651376147=x
26.2019230769=x
x=26.2019230769

now we have:
3.27 is 26.2019230769% of 12.48
