1.25 is what percent of 2576 - 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 2576 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 100% equals 2576, so we can write it down as 100%=2576.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2576
2) x%=1.25
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:
100%/x%=2576/1.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.25 is what percent of 2576

100%/x%=2576/1.25
(100/x)*x=(2576/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2060.8*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2060.8) to get x
100/2060.8=x
0.048524844720497=x
x=0.048524844720497

now we have:
1.25 is 0.048524844720497% of 2576
