125.33 is what percent of 648 - 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 648 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 648, so we can write it down as 100%=648.
4. We know, that x% equals 125.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=125.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=648
2) x%=125.33
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%=648/125.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 125.33 is what percent of 648

100%/x%=648/125.33
(100/x)*x=(648/125.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1703502752733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1703502752733) to get x
100/5.1703502752733=x
19.341049382716=x
x=19.341049382716

now we have:
125.33 is 19.341049382716% of 648
