122.87 is what percent of 5014.21 - 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 5014.21 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 5014.21, so we can write it down as 100%=5014.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 122.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=122.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5014.21
2) x%=122.87
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%=5014.21/122.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 122.87 is what percent of 5014.21

100%/x%=5014.21/122.87
(100/x)*x=(5014.21/122.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.809066493041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.809066493041) to get x
100/40.809066493041=x
2.4504358612822=x
x=2.4504358612822

now we have:
122.87 is 2.4504358612822% of 5014.21
