What is 43.555 percent of 12 - 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 12 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 12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43.555% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43.555%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12=100%
2) x=43.555%
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:
12/x=100%/43.555%
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 43.555% of 12

12/x=100/43.555
(12/x)*x=(100/43.555)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12=2.2959476523935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2959476523935) to get x
12/2.2959476523935=x
5.2266=x
x=5.2266

now we have:
43.555% of 12=5.2266
