What is 145 percent of 31.25 - 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 31.25 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 31.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 145% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=145%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31.25=100%
2) x=145%
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:
31.25/x=100%/145%
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 145% of 31.25

31.25/x=100/145
(31.25/x)*x=(100/145)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31.25=0.68965517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.68965517241379) to get x
31.25/0.68965517241379=x
45.3125=x
x=45.3125

now we have:
145% of 31.25=45.3125
