What is 54.2 percent of 12444.25 - 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 12444.25 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 12444.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12444.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 54.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=54.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12444.25=100%
2) x=54.2%
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:
12444.25/x=100%/54.2%
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 54.2% of 12444.25

12444.25/x=100/54.2
