What is 6.2 percent of 12022.5 - 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 12022.5 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 12022.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12022.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12022.5=100%
2) x=6.2%
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:
12022.5/x=100%/6.2%
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 6.2% of 12022.5

12022.5/x=100/6.2
(12022.5/x)*x=(100/6.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12022.5=16.129032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.129032258065) to get x
12022.5/16.129032258065=x
745.395=x
x=745.395

now we have:
6.2% of 12022.5=745.395
