What is 12.595 percent of 31.556 - 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 31.556 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 31.556 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31.556=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.595% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.595%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31.556=100%
2) x=12.595%
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:
31.556/x=100%/12.595%
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 12.595% of 31.556

31.556/x=100/12.595
(31.556/x)*x=(100/12.595)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31.556=7.9396585946804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9396585946804) to get x
31.556/7.9396585946804=x
3.9744782=x
x=3.9744782

now we have:
12.595% of 31.556=3.9744782
