What is 7.005 percent of 1242.18 - 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 1242.18 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 1242.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1242.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.005% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.005%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1242.18=100%
2) x=7.005%
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:
1242.18/x=100%/7.005%
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 7.005% of 1242.18

1242.18/x=100/7.005
(1242.18/x)*x=(100/7.005)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1242.18=14.275517487509*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.275517487509) to get x
1242.18/14.275517487509=x
87.014709=x
x=87.014709

now we have:
7.005% of 1242.18=87.014709
