6077 is what percent of 12427 - 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 12427 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 12427, so we can write it down as 100%=12427.
4. We know, that x% equals 6077 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6077.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12427
2) x%=6077
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%=12427/6077
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6077 is what percent of 12427

100%/x%=12427/6077
(100/x)*x=(12427/6077)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0449234819812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0449234819812) to get x
100/2.0449234819812=x
48.901585257906=x
x=48.901585257906

now we have:
6077 is 48.901585257906% of 12427
