What is 0.824 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.824% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.824%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=0.824%
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:
120/x=100%/0.824%
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 0.824% of 120

120/x=100/0.824
(120/x)*x=(100/0.824)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=121.35922330097*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (121.35922330097) to get x
120/121.35922330097=x
0.9888=x
x=0.9888

now we have:
0.824% of 120=0.9888
