125.96 is what percent of 250.04 - 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 250.04 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 250.04, so we can write it down as 100%=250.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 125.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=125.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250.04
2) x%=125.96
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%=250.04/125.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 125.96 is what percent of 250.04

100%/x%=250.04/125.96
(100/x)*x=(250.04/125.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9850746268657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9850746268657) to get x
100/1.9850746268657=x
50.375939849624=x
x=50.375939849624

now we have:
125.96 is 50.375939849624% of 250.04
