What is 61.6 percent of 12750 - 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 12750 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 12750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 61.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=61.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12750=100%
2) x=61.6%
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:
12750/x=100%/61.6%
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 61.6% of 12750

12750/x=100/61.6
(12750/x)*x=(100/61.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12750=1.6233766233766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6233766233766) to get x
12750/1.6233766233766=x
7854=x
x=7854

now we have:
61.6% of 12750=7854
