What is 1.26 percent of 0.79 - 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 0.79 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 0.79 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.79=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.79=100%
2) x=1.26%
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:
0.79/x=100%/1.26%
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 1.26% of 0.79

0.79/x=100/1.26
(0.79/x)*x=(100/1.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.79=79.365079365079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (79.365079365079) to get x
0.79/79.365079365079=x
0.009954=x
x=0.009954

now we have:
1.26% of 0.79=0.009954
