124.87 is what percent of 750.12 - 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 750.12 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 750.12, so we can write it down as 100%=750.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750.12
2) x%=124.87
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%=750.12/124.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.87 is what percent of 750.12

100%/x%=750.12/124.87
(100/x)*x=(750.12/124.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.0072074957956*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0072074957956) to get x
100/6.0072074957956=x
16.646669866155=x
x=16.646669866155

now we have:
