What is 1012 percent of 957 - 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 957 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 957 is 100%, so we can write it down as 957=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1012% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1012%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 957=100%
2) x=1012%
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:
957/x=100%/1012%
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 1012% of 957

957/x=100/1012
(957/x)*x=(100/1012)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
957=0.098814229249012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.098814229249012) to get x
957/0.098814229249012=x
9684.84=x
x=9684.84

now we have:
1012% of 957=9684.84
