What is 1109 percent of 125 - 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 125 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 125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1109% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1109%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125=100%
2) x=1109%
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:
125/x=100%/1109%
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 1109% of 125

125/x=100/1109
(125/x)*x=(100/1109)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125=0.090171325518485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.090171325518485) to get x
125/0.090171325518485=x
1386.25=x
x=1386.25

now we have:
1109% of 125=1386.25
