What is 7.209 percent of 124.732 - 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 124.732 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 124.732 is 100%, so we can write it down as 124.732=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.209% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.209%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 124.732=100%
2) x=7.209%
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:
124.732/x=100%/7.209%
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 7.209% of 124.732

124.732/x=100/7.209
(124.732/x)*x=(100/7.209)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
124.732=13.871549452074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.871549452074) to get x
124.732/13.871549452074=x
8.99192988=x
x=8.99192988

now we have:
