What is 12.46 percent of 62.7 - 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 62.7 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 62.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62.7=100%
2) x=12.46%
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:
62.7/x=100%/12.46%
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 12.46% of 62.7

62.7/x=100/12.46
(62.7/x)*x=(100/12.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62.7=8.02568218299*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.02568218299) to get x
62.7/8.02568218299=x
7.81242=x
x=7.81242

now we have:
12.46% of 62.7=7.81242
