What is 20.95 percent of 1.25 - 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 1.25 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 1.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.25=100%
2) x=20.95%
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:
1.25/x=100%/20.95%
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 20.95% of 1.25

1.25/x=100/20.95
(1.25/x)*x=(100/20.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.25=4.7732696897375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7732696897375) to get x
1.25/4.7732696897375=x
0.261875=x
x=0.261875

now we have:
20.95% of 1.25=0.261875
