What is 7.76 percent of 12.95 - 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 12.95 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 12.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.95=100%
2) x=7.76%
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:
12.95/x=100%/7.76%
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 7.76% of 12.95

12.95/x=100/7.76
(12.95/x)*x=(100/7.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.95=12.886597938144*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.886597938144) to get x
12.95/12.886597938144=x
1.00492=x
x=1.00492

now we have:
7.76% of 12.95=1.00492
