125.37 is what percent of 167 - 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 167 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 167, so we can write it down as 100%=167.
4. We know, that x% equals 125.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=125.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=167
2) x%=125.37
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%=167/125.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 125.37 is what percent of 167

100%/x%=167/125.37
(100/x)*x=(167/125.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3320571109516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3320571109516) to get x
100/1.3320571109516=x
75.071856287425=x
x=75.071856287425

now we have:
125.37 is 75.071856287425% of 167
