What is 55.55 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 55.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125000=100%
2) x=55.55%
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%/55.55%
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 55.55% of 125000

125000/x=100/55.55
(125000/x)*x=(100/55.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125000=1.8001800180018*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8001800180018) to get x
125000/1.8001800180018=x
69437.5=x
x=69437.5

now we have:
55.55% of 125000=69437.5
