376 is what percent of 124 - 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 124 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 124, so we can write it down as 100%=124.
4. We know, that x% equals 376 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=376.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=124
2) x%=376
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%=124/376
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 376 is what percent of 124

100%/x%=124/376
(100/x)*x=(124/376)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.32978723404255*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.32978723404255) to get x
100/0.32978723404255=x
303.22580645161=x
x=303.22580645161

now we have:
376 is 303.22580645161% of 124
