What is 12.08 percent of 37000 - 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 37000 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 37000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37000=100%
2) x=12.08%
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:
37000/x=100%/12.08%
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 12.08% of 37000

37000/x=100/12.08
(37000/x)*x=(100/12.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37000=8.2781456953642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2781456953642) to get x
37000/8.2781456953642=x
4469.6=x
x=4469.6

now we have:
12.08% of 37000=4469.6
