What is 12.85 percent of 94.5 - 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 94.5 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 94.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 94.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 94.5=100%
2) x=12.85%
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:
94.5/x=100%/12.85%
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 12.85% of 94.5

94.5/x=100/12.85
(94.5/x)*x=(100/12.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
94.5=7.7821011673152*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.7821011673152) to get x
94.5/7.7821011673152=x
12.14325=x
x=12.14325

now we have:
12.85% of 94.5=12.14325
