What is 805 percent of 12.5 - 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 12.5 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 12.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 805% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=805%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.5=100%
2) x=805%
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:
12.5/x=100%/805%
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 805% of 12.5

12.5/x=100/805
(12.5/x)*x=(100/805)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.5=0.12422360248447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.12422360248447) to get x
12.5/0.12422360248447=x
100.625=x
x=100.625

now we have:
805% of 12.5=100.625
