What is 70000 percent of 12000 - 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 12000 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 12000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12000=100%
2) x=70000%
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:
12000/x=100%/70000%
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 70000% of 12000

12000/x=100/70000
(12000/x)*x=(100/70000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12000=0.0014285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0014285714285714) to get x
12000/0.0014285714285714=x
8400000=x
x=8400000

now we have:
70000% of 12000=8400000
