123.75 is what percent of 7000 - 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 7000 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 7000, so we can write it down as 100%=7000.
4. We know, that x% equals 123.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=123.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7000
2) x%=123.75
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%=7000/123.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 123.75 is what percent of 7000

100%/x%=7000/123.75
(100/x)*x=(7000/123.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.565656565657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.565656565657) to get x
100/56.565656565657=x
1.7678571428571=x
x=1.7678571428571

now we have:
123.75 is 1.7678571428571% of 7000
