1081.25 is what percent of 6250 - 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 6250 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 6250, so we can write it down as 100%=6250.
4. We know, that x% equals 1081.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1081.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6250
2) x%=1081.25
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%=6250/1081.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1081.25 is what percent of 6250

100%/x%=6250/1081.25
(100/x)*x=(6250/1081.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7803468208092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7803468208092) to get x
100/5.7803468208092=x
17.3=x
x=17.3

now we have:
1081.25 is 17.3% of 6250
