What is 19.44 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 19.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12=100%
2) x=19.44%
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%/19.44%
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 19.44% of 12

12/x=100/19.44
(12/x)*x=(100/19.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12=5.1440329218107*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1440329218107) to get x
12/5.1440329218107=x
2.3328=x
x=2.3328

now we have:
19.44% of 12=2.3328
