What is 40.23 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 40.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.25=100%
2) x=40.23%
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%/40.23%
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 40.23% of 1.25

1.25/x=100/40.23
(1.25/x)*x=(100/40.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.25=2.4857071836938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4857071836938) to get x
1.25/2.4857071836938=x
0.502875=x
x=0.502875

now we have:
40.23% of 1.25=0.502875
