7212 is what percent of 11212 - 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 11212 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 11212, so we can write it down as 100%=11212.
4. We know, that x% equals 7212 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7212.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11212
2) x%=7212
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%=11212/7212
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7212 is what percent of 11212

100%/x%=11212/7212
(100/x)*x=(11212/7212)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5546311702718*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5546311702718) to get x
100/1.5546311702718=x
64.323938637174=x
x=64.323938637174

now we have:
7212 is 64.323938637174% of 11212
