What is 12.65 percent of 87250 - 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 87250 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 87250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 87250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 87250=100%
2) x=12.65%
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:
87250/x=100%/12.65%
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 12.65% of 87250

87250/x=100/12.65
(87250/x)*x=(100/12.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
87250=7.9051383399209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9051383399209) to get x
87250/7.9051383399209=x
11037.125=x
x=11037.125

now we have:
12.65% of 87250=11037.125
