What is 51.348 percent of 1.2 - 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 1.2 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 1.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.348% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.348%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.2=100%
2) x=51.348%
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:
1.2/x=100%/51.348%
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 51.348% of 1.2

1.2/x=100/51.348
(1.2/x)*x=(100/51.348)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.2=1.9474955207603*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9474955207603) to get x
1.2/1.9474955207603=x
0.616176=x
x=0.616176

now we have:
51.348% of 1.2=0.616176
