1107.5 is what percent of 1254 - 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 1254 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 1254, so we can write it down as 100%=1254.
4. We know, that x% equals 1107.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1107.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1254
2) x%=1107.5
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%=1254/1107.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1107.5 is what percent of 1254

100%/x%=1254/1107.5
(100/x)*x=(1254/1107.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1322799097065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1322799097065) to get x
100/1.1322799097065=x
88.317384370016=x
x=88.317384370016

now we have:
1107.5 is 88.317384370016% of 1254
