What is 6.12 percent of 1002 - 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 1002 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 1002 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1002=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1002=100%
2) x=6.12%
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:
1002/x=100%/6.12%
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 6.12% of 1002

1002/x=100/6.12
(1002/x)*x=(100/6.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1002=16.339869281046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.339869281046) to get x
1002/16.339869281046=x
61.3224=x
x=61.3224

now we have:
6.12% of 1002=61.3224
