1466.25 is what percent of 127.5 - 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 127.5 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 127.5, so we can write it down as 100%=127.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1466.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1466.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=127.5
2) x%=1466.25
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%=127.5/1466.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1466.25 is what percent of 127.5

100%/x%=127.5/1466.25
(100/x)*x=(127.5/1466.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.08695652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.08695652173913) to get x
100/0.08695652173913=x
1150=x
x=1150

now we have:
1466.25 is 1150% of 127.5
