What is 1.25 percent of 115937.44 - 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 115937.44 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 115937.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 115937.44=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) 115937.44=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:
115937.44/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 115937.44

115937.44/x=100/1.25
(115937.44/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
115937.44=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
115937.44/80=x
1449.218=x
x=1449.218

now we have:
