What is 9.72 percent of 1256.56 - 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 1256.56 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 1256.56 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1256.56=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1256.56=100%
2) x=9.72%
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:
1256.56/x=100%/9.72%
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 9.72% of 1256.56

1256.56/x=100/9.72
(1256.56/x)*x=(100/9.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1256.56=10.288065843621*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.288065843621) to get x
1256.56/10.288065843621=x
122.137632=x
x=122.137632

now we have:
9.72% of 1256.56=122.137632
