What is 12.79 percent of 552.295 - 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 552.295 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 552.295 is 100%, so we can write it down as 552.295=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 552.295=100%
2) x=12.79%
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:
552.295/x=100%/12.79%
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 12.79% of 552.295
