What is 12.664 percent of 79.421 - 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 79.421 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 79.421 is 100%, so we can write it down as 79.421=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.664% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.664%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 79.421=100%
2) x=12.664%
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:
79.421/x=100%/12.664%
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 12.664% of 79.421

79.421/x=100/12.664
(79.421/x)*x=(100/12.664)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
79.421=7.8963992419457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8963992419457) to get x
79.421/7.8963992419457=x
10.05787544=x
x=10.05787544

now we have:
