What is 32.28 percent of 12.43 - 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 12.43 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 12.43 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.43=100%.
4. We know, that x is 32.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=32.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.43=100%
2) x=32.28%
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:
12.43/x=100%/32.28%
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 32.28% of 12.43

12.43/x=100/32.28
(12.43/x)*x=(100/32.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.43=3.0978934324659*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0978934324659) to get x
12.43/3.0978934324659=x
4.012404=x
x=4.012404

now we have:
32.28% of 12.43=4.012404
