What is 12.03 percent of 27.25 - 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 27.25 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 27.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27.25=100%
2) x=12.03%
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:
27.25/x=100%/12.03%
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 12.03% of 27.25

27.25/x=100/12.03
(27.25/x)*x=(100/12.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27.25=8.3125519534497*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3125519534497) to get x
27.25/8.3125519534497=x
3.278175=x
x=3.278175

now we have:
12.03% of 27.25=3.278175
