125.61 is what percent of 738 - 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 738 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 738, so we can write it down as 100%=738.
4. We know, that x% equals 125.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=125.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=738
2) x%=125.61
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%=738/125.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 125.61 is what percent of 738

100%/x%=738/125.61
(100/x)*x=(738/125.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8753283974206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8753283974206) to get x
100/5.8753283974206=x
17.020325203252=x
x=17.020325203252

now we have:
125.61 is 17.020325203252% of 738
