What is 13.37 percent of 12.5 - 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 12.5 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 12.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.5=100%
2) x=13.37%
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:
12.5/x=100%/13.37%
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 13.37% of 12.5

12.5/x=100/13.37
(12.5/x)*x=(100/13.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.5=7.4794315632012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4794315632012) to get x
12.5/7.4794315632012=x
1.67125=x
x=1.67125

now we have:
13.37% of 12.5=1.67125
