What is 12.1 percent of 76000000 - 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 76000000 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 76000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 76000000=100%
2) x=12.1%
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:
76000000/x=100%/12.1%
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 12.1% of 76000000

76000000/x=100/12.1
(76000000/x)*x=(100/12.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76000000=8.2644628099174*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2644628099174) to get x
76000000/8.2644628099174=x
9196000=x
x=9196000

now we have:
12.1% of 76000000=9196000
