What is 11.72 percent of 105 - 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 105 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 105 is 100%, so we can write it down as 105=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 105=100%
2) x=11.72%
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:
105/x=100%/11.72%
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 11.72% of 105

105/x=100/11.72
(105/x)*x=(100/11.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
105=8.5324232081911*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5324232081911) to get x
105/8.5324232081911=x
12.306=x
x=12.306

now we have:
11.72% of 105=12.306
