What is 1.2 percent of 91200 - 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 91200 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 91200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 91200=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) 91200=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:
91200/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 91200

91200/x=100/1.2
(91200/x)*x=(100/1.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
91200=83.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.333333333333) to get x
91200/83.333333333333=x
1094.4=x
x=1094.4

now we have:
1.2% of 91200=1094.4
