What is 12.672 percent of 39.6 - 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 39.6 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 39.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 39.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.672% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.672%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 39.6=100%
2) x=12.672%
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:
39.6/x=100%/12.672%
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 12.672% of 39.6

39.6/x=100/12.672
(39.6/x)*x=(100/12.672)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
39.6=7.8914141414141*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8914141414141) to get x
39.6/7.8914141414141=x
5.018112=x
x=5.018112

now we have:
12.672% of 39.6=5.018112
