125.4 is what percent of 173.052 - 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 173.052 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 173.052, so we can write it down as 100%=173.052.
4. We know, that x% equals 125.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=125.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=173.052
2) x%=125.4
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%=173.052/125.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 125.4 is what percent of 173.052

100%/x%=173.052/125.4
(100/x)*x=(173.052/125.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.38*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.38) to get x
100/1.38=x
72.463768115942=x
x=72.463768115942

now we have:
125.4 is 72.463768115942% of 173.052
