What is 121.75 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 121.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=121.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125=100%
2) x=121.75%
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%/121.75%
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 121.75% of 125

125/x=100/121.75
(125/x)*x=(100/121.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125=0.82135523613963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.82135523613963) to get x
125/0.82135523613963=x
152.1875=x
x=152.1875

now we have:
121.75% of 125=152.1875
