What is 124.88 percent of 7.1 - 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 7.1 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 7.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 124.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=124.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.1=100%
2) x=124.88%
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:
7.1/x=100%/124.88%
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 124.88% of 7.1

7.1/x=100/124.88
(7.1/x)*x=(100/124.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.1=0.80076873798847*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80076873798847) to get x
7.1/0.80076873798847=x
8.86648=x
x=8.86648

now we have:
124.88% of 7.1=8.86648
