What is 1.25 percent of 365.786 - 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 365.786 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 365.786 is 100%, so we can write it down as 365.786=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) 365.786=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:
365.786/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 365.786

365.786/x=100/1.25
(365.786/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
365.786=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
365.786/80=x
4.572325=x
x=4.572325

now we have:
1.25% of 365.786=4.572325
