12.27 is what percent of 67.73 - 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 67.73 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 100% equals 67.73, so we can write it down as 100%=67.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.73
2) x%=12.27
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:
100%/x%=67.73/12.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.27 is what percent of 67.73

100%/x%=67.73/12.27
(100/x)*x=(67.73/12.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.519967400163*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.519967400163) to get x
100/5.519967400163=x
18.11604901816=x
x=18.11604901816

now we have:
12.27 is 18.11604901816% of 67.73
