What is 12.47 percent of 5.14 - 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 5.14 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 5.14 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.14=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.14=100%
2) x=12.47%
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:
5.14/x=100%/12.47%
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 12.47% of 5.14

5.14/x=100/12.47
(5.14/x)*x=(100/12.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.14=8.0192461908581*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0192461908581) to get x
5.14/8.0192461908581=x
0.640958=x
x=0.640958

now we have:
12.47% of 5.14=0.640958
