124.75 is what percent of 623.76 - 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 623.76 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 623.76, so we can write it down as 100%=623.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=623.76
2) x%=124.75
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%=623.76/124.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.75 is what percent of 623.76

100%/x%=623.76/124.75
(100/x)*x=(623.76/124.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0000801603206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0000801603206) to get x
100/5.0000801603206=x
19.999679363858=x
x=19.999679363858

now we have:
124.75 is 19.999679363858% of 623.76
