What is 10.25 percent of 12.25 - 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 12.25 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 12.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.25=100%
2) x=10.25%
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:
12.25/x=100%/10.25%
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 10.25% of 12.25

12.25/x=100/10.25
(12.25/x)*x=(100/10.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.25=9.7560975609756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7560975609756) to get x
12.25/9.7560975609756=x
1.255625=x
x=1.255625

now we have:
10.25% of 12.25=1.255625
