What is 0.61 percent of 1.2 - 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 1.2 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 1.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.61% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.61%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.2=100%
2) x=0.61%
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:
1.2/x=100%/0.61%
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 0.61% of 1.2

1.2/x=100/0.61
(1.2/x)*x=(100/0.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.2=163.93442622951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (163.93442622951) to get x
1.2/163.93442622951=x
0.00732=x
x=0.00732

now we have:
0.61% of 1.2=0.00732
