What is 27.65 percent of 12.47 - 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 12.47 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 12.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.47=100%
2) x=27.65%
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:
12.47/x=100%/27.65%
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 27.65% of 12.47

12.47/x=100/27.65
(12.47/x)*x=(100/27.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.47=3.6166365280289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6166365280289) to get x
12.47/3.6166365280289=x
3.447955=x
x=3.447955

now we have:
27.65% of 12.47=3.447955
