What is 49.065 percent of 12.1 - 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 12.1 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 12.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.065% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.065%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.1=100%
2) x=49.065%
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:
12.1/x=100%/49.065%
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 49.065% of 12.1

12.1/x=100/49.065
(12.1/x)*x=(100/49.065)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.1=2.0381127076327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0381127076327) to get x
12.1/2.0381127076327=x
5.936865=x
x=5.936865

now we have:
49.065% of 12.1=5.936865
