124.82 is what percent of 884 - 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 884 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 884, so we can write it down as 100%=884.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=884
2) x%=124.82
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%=884/124.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.82 is what percent of 884

100%/x%=884/124.82
(100/x)*x=(884/124.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.0821983656465*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0821983656465) to get x
100/7.0821983656465=x
14.119909502262=x
x=14.119909502262

now we have:
124.82 is 14.119909502262% of 884
