What is 23.24 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 23.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125=100%
2) x=23.24%
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%/23.24%
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 23.24% of 125

125/x=100/23.24
(125/x)*x=(100/23.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125=4.302925989673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.302925989673) to get x
125/4.302925989673=x
29.05=x
x=29.05

now we have:
23.24% of 125=29.05
