What is 12.76 percent of 7.5 - 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 7.5 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 7.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.5=100%
2) x=12.76%
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:
7.5/x=100%/12.76%
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 12.76% of 7.5

7.5/x=100/12.76
(7.5/x)*x=(100/12.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.5=7.8369905956113*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8369905956113) to get x
7.5/7.8369905956113=x
0.957=x
x=0.957

now we have:
12.76% of 7.5=0.957
