What is 31250 percent of 125000 - 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 125000 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 125000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 125000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31250%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125000=100%
2) x=31250%
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:
125000/x=100%/31250%
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 31250% of 125000

125000/x=100/31250
(125000/x)*x=(100/31250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125000=0.0032*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0032) to get x
125000/0.0032=x
39062500=x
x=39062500

now we have:
31250% of 125000=39062500
