What is 0.26 percent of 12420 - 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 12420 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 12420 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12420=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12420=100%
2) x=0.26%
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:
12420/x=100%/0.26%
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 0.26% of 12420

12420/x=100/0.26
(12420/x)*x=(100/0.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12420=384.61538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (384.61538461538) to get x
12420/384.61538461538=x
32.292=x
x=32.292

now we have:
0.26% of 12420=32.292
