What is 12.3 percent of 999.333 - 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 999.333 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 999.333 is 100%, so we can write it down as 999.333=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 999.333=100%
2) x=12.3%
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:
999.333/x=100%/12.3%
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 12.3% of 999.333

999.333/x=100/12.3
(999.333/x)*x=(100/12.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
999.333=8.130081300813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.130081300813) to get x
999.333/8.130081300813=x
122.917959=x
x=122.917959

now we have:
12.3% of 999.333=122.917959
