What is 1.015 percent of 1254.81 - 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 1254.81 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 1254.81 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1254.81=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.015% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.015%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1254.81=100%
2) x=1.015%
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:
1254.81/x=100%/1.015%
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 1.015% of 1254.81

1254.81/x=100/1.015
(1254.81/x)*x=(100/1.015)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1254.81=98.522167487685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (98.522167487685) to get x
1254.81/98.522167487685=x
12.7363215=x
x=12.7363215

now we have:
1.015% of 1254.81=12.7363215
