130.1 is what percent of 125.6 - 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 125.6 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 125.6, so we can write it down as 100%=125.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=125.6
2) x%=130.1
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%=125.6/130.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.1 is what percent of 125.6

100%/x%=125.6/130.1
(100/x)*x=(125.6/130.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.96541122213682*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96541122213682) to get x
100/0.96541122213682=x
103.58280254777=x
x=103.58280254777

now we have:
130.1 is 103.58280254777% of 125.6
