What is 11.197 percent of 12.939 - 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 12.939 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 12.939 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.939=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.197% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.197%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.939=100%
2) x=11.197%
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:
12.939/x=100%/11.197%
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 11.197% of 12.939

12.939/x=100/11.197
(12.939/x)*x=(100/11.197)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.939=8.9309636509779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9309636509779) to get x
12.939/8.9309636509779=x
1.44877983=x
x=1.44877983

now we have:
11.197% of 12.939=1.44877983
