What is 1.2 percent of 675000 - 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 675000 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 675000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 675000=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) 675000=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:
675000/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 675000

675000/x=100/1.2
(675000/x)*x=(100/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
675000=83.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.333333333333) to get x
675000/83.333333333333=x
8100=x
x=8100

now we have:
1.2% of 675000=8100
