What is 3.127 percent of 12.435 - 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 12.435 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 12.435 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.435=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.127% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.127%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.435=100%
2) x=3.127%
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:
12.435/x=100%/3.127%
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 3.127% of 12.435

12.435/x=100/3.127
(12.435/x)*x=(100/3.127)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.435=31.979533098817*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.979533098817) to get x
12.435/31.979533098817=x
0.38884245=x
x=0.38884245

now we have:
3.127% of 12.435=0.38884245
