5803.57 is what percent of 12 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=12.
4. We know, that x% equals 5803.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5803.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12
2) x%=5803.57
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%=12/5803.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5803.57 is what percent of 12

100%/x%=12/5803.57
(100/x)*x=(12/5803.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0020676928166628*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0020676928166628) to get x
100/0.0020676928166628=x
48363.083333333=x
x=48363.083333333

now we have:
5803.57 is 48363.083333333% of 12
