What is 129.3 percent of 12 - 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 12 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 12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 129.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=129.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12=100%
2) x=129.3%
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:
12/x=100%/129.3%
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 129.3% of 12

12/x=100/129.3
(12/x)*x=(100/129.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12=0.77339520494973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.77339520494973) to get x
12/0.77339520494973=x
15.516=x
x=15.516

now we have:
129.3% of 12=15.516
