What is 12.07 percent of 18.01 - 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 18.01 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 18.01 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.01=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.01=100%
2) x=12.07%
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:
18.01/x=100%/12.07%
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 12.07% of 18.01

18.01/x=100/12.07
(18.01/x)*x=(100/12.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.01=8.2850041425021*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2850041425021) to get x
18.01/8.2850041425021=x
2.173807=x
x=2.173807

now we have:
12.07% of 18.01=2.173807
