124.81 is what percent of 137 - 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 137 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 137, so we can write it down as 100%=137.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=137
2) x%=124.81
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%=137/124.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.81 is what percent of 137

100%/x%=137/124.81
(100/x)*x=(137/124.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0976684560532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0976684560532) to get x
100/1.0976684560532=x
91.102189781022=x
x=91.102189781022

now we have:
124.81 is 91.102189781022% of 137
