122.5 is what percent of 912 - 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 912 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 912, so we can write it down as 100%=912.
4. We know, that x% equals 122.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=122.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=912
2) x%=122.5
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%=912/122.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 122.5 is what percent of 912

100%/x%=912/122.5
(100/x)*x=(912/122.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4448979591837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4448979591837) to get x
100/7.4448979591837=x
13.43201754386=x
x=13.43201754386

now we have:
122.5 is 13.43201754386% of 912
