1.25 is what percent of 6.91 - 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 6.91 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 6.91, so we can write it down as 100%=6.91.
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%=6.91
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%=6.91/1.25
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 6.91

100%/x%=6.91/1.25
(100/x)*x=(6.91/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.528*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.528) to get x
100/5.528=x
18.089725036179=x
x=18.089725036179

now we have:
1.25 is 18.089725036179% of 6.91
