What is 12.972972973 percent of 555 - 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 555 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 555 is 100%, so we can write it down as 555=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.972972973% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.972972973%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 555=100%
2) x=12.972972973%
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:
555/x=100%/12.972972973%
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 12.972972973% of 555

555/x=100/12.972972973
(555/x)*x=(100/12.972972973)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
555=7.7083333333173*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.7083333333173) to get x
555/7.7083333333173=x
72.00000000015=x
x=72.00000000015

now we have:
12.972972973% of 555=72.00000000015
