What is 9.63 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 9.63% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.63%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.5=100%
2) x=9.63%
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%/9.63%
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 9.63% of 12.5

12.5/x=100/9.63
(12.5/x)*x=(100/9.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.5=10.384215991693*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.384215991693) to get x
12.5/10.384215991693=x
1.20375=x
x=1.20375

now we have:
9.63% of 12.5=1.20375
