What is 73.38 percent of 12.07 - 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 12.07 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 12.07 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.07=100%.
4. We know, that x is 73.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=73.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.07=100%
2) x=73.38%
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:
12.07/x=100%/73.38%
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 73.38% of 12.07

12.07/x=100/73.38
(12.07/x)*x=(100/73.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.07=1.3627691469065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3627691469065) to get x
12.07/1.3627691469065=x
8.856966=x
x=8.856966

now we have:
73.38% of 12.07=8.856966
