What is 125000 percent of 165000 - 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 165000 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 165000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 165000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 125000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=125000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 165000=100%
2) x=125000%
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:
165000/x=100%/125000%
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 125000% of 165000

165000/x=100/125000
(165000/x)*x=(100/125000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
165000=0.0008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0008) to get x
165000/0.0008=x
206250000=x
x=206250000

now we have:
125000% of 165000=206250000
