124.8 is what percent of 10.7 - 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 10.7 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 10.7, so we can write it down as 100%=10.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.7
2) x%=124.8
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%=10.7/124.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.8 is what percent of 10.7

100%/x%=10.7/124.8
(100/x)*x=(10.7/124.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.085737179487179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.085737179487179) to get x
100/0.085737179487179=x
1166.3551401869=x
x=1166.3551401869

now we have:
124.8 is 1166.3551401869% of 10.7
