What is 12.62626 percent of 143 - 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 143 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 143 is 100%, so we can write it down as 143=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.62626% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.62626%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 143=100%
2) x=12.62626%
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:
143/x=100%/12.62626%
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 12.62626% of 143

143/x=100/12.62626
(143/x)*x=(100/12.62626)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
143=7.9200016473603*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9200016473603) to get x
143/7.9200016473603=x
18.0555518=x
x=18.0555518

now we have:
12.62626% of 143=18.0555518
