What is 1.25 percent of 10.35 - 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 10.35 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 10.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10.35=100%
2) x=1.25%
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:
10.35/x=100%/1.25%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.25% of 10.35

10.35/x=100/1.25
(10.35/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10.35=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
10.35/80=x
0.129375=x
x=0.129375

now we have:
1.25% of 10.35=0.129375
