What is 1.2 percent of 592.97 - 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 592.97 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 592.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 592.97=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) 592.97=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:
592.97/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 592.97

592.97/x=100/1.2
(592.97/x)*x=(100/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
592.97=83.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.333333333333) to get x
592.97/83.333333333333=x
7.11564=x
x=7.11564

now we have:
1.2% of 592.97=7.11564
