What is 12 percent of 3126.67 - 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 3126.67 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 3126.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3126.67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3126.67=100%
2) x=12%
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:
3126.67/x=100%/12%
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 12% of 3126.67

3126.67/x=100/12
(3126.67/x)*x=(100/12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3126.67=8.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3333333333333) to get x
3126.67/8.3333333333333=x
375.2004=x
x=375.2004

now we have:
12% of 3126.67=375.2004
