What is 1.2 percent of 1909.18 - 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 1909.18 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 1909.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1909.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1909.18=100%
2) x=1.2%
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:
1909.18/x=100%/1.2%
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 1.2% of 1909.18

1909.18/x=100/1.2
(1909.18/x)*x=(100/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1909.18=83.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.333333333333) to get x
1909.18/83.333333333333=x
22.91016=x
x=22.91016

now we have:
1.2% of 1909.18=22.91016
