What is 1.25 percent of 133086 - 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 133086 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 133086 is 100%, so we can write it down as 133086=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) 133086=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:
133086/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 133086

133086/x=100/1.25
(133086/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
133086=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
133086/80=x
1663.575=x
x=1663.575

now we have:
1.25% of 133086=1663.575
