What is 12.4378 percent of 88000 - 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 88000 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 88000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 88000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.4378% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.4378%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 88000=100%
2) x=12.4378%
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:
88000/x=100%/12.4378%
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 12.4378% of 88000

88000/x=100/12.4378
(88000/x)*x=(100/12.4378)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
88000=8.0400070752062*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0400070752062) to get x
88000/8.0400070752062=x
10945.264=x
x=10945.264

now we have:
12.4378% of 88000=10945.264
