What is 12 percent of 22344 - 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 22344 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 22344 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22344=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22344=100%
2) x=12%
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:
22344/x=100%/12%
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 12% of 22344

22344/x=100/12
(22344/x)*x=(100/12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22344=8.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3333333333333) to get x
22344/8.3333333333333=x
2681.28=x
x=2681.28

now we have:
12% of 22344=2681.28
