What is 63.1 percent of 212.12 - 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 212.12 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 212.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 212.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 63.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=63.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 212.12=100%
2) x=63.1%
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:
212.12/x=100%/63.1%
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 63.1% of 212.12

212.12/x=100/63.1
(212.12/x)*x=(100/63.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
212.12=1.5847860538827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5847860538827) to get x
212.12/1.5847860538827=x
133.84772=x
x=133.84772

now we have:
63.1% of 212.12=133.84772
