What is 11.92 percent of 965 - 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 965 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 965 is 100%, so we can write it down as 965=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 965=100%
2) x=11.92%
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:
965/x=100%/11.92%
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 11.92% of 965

965/x=100/11.92
(965/x)*x=(100/11.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
965=8.3892617449664*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3892617449664) to get x
965/8.3892617449664=x
115.028=x
x=115.028

now we have:
11.92% of 965=115.028
