What is 1.38 percent of 12060 - 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 12060 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 12060 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12060=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12060=100%
2) x=1.38%
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:
12060/x=100%/1.38%
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 1.38% of 12060

12060/x=100/1.38
(12060/x)*x=(100/1.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12060=72.463768115942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (72.463768115942) to get x
12060/72.463768115942=x
166.428=x
x=166.428

now we have:
1.38% of 12060=166.428
