What is 12.599 percent of 95 - 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 95 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 95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.599% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.599%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 95=100%
2) x=12.599%
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:
95/x=100%/12.599%
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 12.599% of 95

95/x=100/12.599
(95/x)*x=(100/12.599)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
95=7.9371378680848*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9371378680848) to get x
95/7.9371378680848=x
11.96905=x
x=11.96905

now we have:
12.599% of 95=11.96905
