What is 1.25 percent of 1890.72 - 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 1890.72 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 1890.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1890.72=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) 1890.72=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:
1890.72/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 1890.72

1890.72/x=100/1.25
(1890.72/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1890.72=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
1890.72/80=x
23.634=x
x=23.634

now we have:
1.25% of 1890.72=23.634
