What is 50.1 percent of 1267.21 - 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 1267.21 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 1267.21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1267.21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1267.21=100%
2) x=50.1%
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:
1267.21/x=100%/50.1%
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 50.1% of 1267.21

1267.21/x=100/50.1
(1267.21/x)*x=(100/50.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1267.21=1.9960079840319*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9960079840319) to get x
1267.21/1.9960079840319=x
634.87221=x
x=634.87221

now we have:
50.1% of 1267.21=634.87221
