What is 775 percent of 12.4 - 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 12.4 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 12.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 775% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=775%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.4=100%
2) x=775%
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:
12.4/x=100%/775%
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 775% of 12.4

12.4/x=100/775
(12.4/x)*x=(100/775)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.4=0.12903225806452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.12903225806452) to get x
12.4/0.12903225806452=x
96.1=x
x=96.1

now we have:
775% of 12.4=96.1
