What is 12.35 percent of 5.29 - 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 5.29 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 5.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.29=100%
2) x=12.35%
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:
5.29/x=100%/12.35%
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 12.35% of 5.29

5.29/x=100/12.35
(5.29/x)*x=(100/12.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.29=8.0971659919028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0971659919028) to get x
5.29/8.0971659919028=x
0.653315=x
x=0.653315

now we have:
12.35% of 5.29=0.653315
