What is 1000 percent of 12900 - 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 12900 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 12900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12900=100%
2) x=1000%
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:
12900/x=100%/1000%
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 1000% of 12900

12900/x=100/1000
(12900/x)*x=(100/1000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12900=0.1*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1) to get x
12900/0.1=x
129000=x
x=129000

now we have:
1000% of 12900=129000
