What is 12000 percent of 5700 - 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 5700 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 5700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5700=100%
2) x=12000%
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:
5700/x=100%/12000%
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 12000% of 5700

5700/x=100/12000
(5700/x)*x=(100/12000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5700=0.0083333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0083333333333333) to get x
5700/0.0083333333333333=x
684000=x
x=684000

now we have:
12000% of 5700=684000
