What is 1.212 percent of 2.505 - 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 2.505 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 2.505 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.505=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.212% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.212%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.505=100%
2) x=1.212%
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:
2.505/x=100%/1.212%
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 1.212% of 2.505

2.505/x=100/1.212
(2.505/x)*x=(100/1.212)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.505=82.508250825083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (82.508250825083) to get x
2.505/82.508250825083=x
0.0303606=x
x=0.0303606

now we have:
1.212% of 2.505=0.0303606
