What is 0.0765 percent of 12.5 - 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 12.5 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 12.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0765% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0765%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.5=100%
2) x=0.0765%
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:
12.5/x=100%/0.0765%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0765% of 12.5

12.5/x=100/0.0765
(12.5/x)*x=(100/0.0765)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.5=1307.1895424837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1307.1895424837) to get x
12.5/1307.1895424837=x
0.0095625=x
x=0.0095625

now we have:
0.0765% of 12.5=0.0095625
