112.5 is what percent of 431.25 - 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 431.25 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 431.25, so we can write it down as 100%=431.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=431.25
2) x%=112.5
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%=431.25/112.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.5 is what percent of 431.25

100%/x%=431.25/112.5
(100/x)*x=(431.25/112.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8333333333333) to get x
100/3.8333333333333=x
26.086956521739=x
x=26.086956521739

now we have:
112.5 is 26.086956521739% of 431.25
