124.56 is what percent of 543.28 - 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 543.28 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 543.28, so we can write it down as 100%=543.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=543.28
2) x%=124.56
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%=543.28/124.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.56 is what percent of 543.28

100%/x%=543.28/124.56
(100/x)*x=(543.28/124.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3615928066795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3615928066795) to get x
100/4.3615928066795=x
22.927403916949=x
x=22.927403916949

now we have:
