What is 1.25 percent of 1129189.2 - 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 1129189.2 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 1129189.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1129189.2=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) 1129189.2=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:
1129189.2/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 1129189.2

1129189.2/x=100/1.25
(1129189.2/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1129189.2=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
1129189.2/80=x
14114.865=x
x=14114.865

now we have:
1.25% of 1129189.2=14114.865
