What is 0.0725 percent of 123.25 - 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 123.25 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 123.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 123.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 123.25=100%
2) x=0.0725%
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:
123.25/x=100%/0.0725%
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 0.0725% of 123.25

123.25/x=100/0.0725
(123.25/x)*x=(100/0.0725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
123.25=1379.3103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1379.3103448276) to get x
123.25/1379.3103448276=x
0.08935625=x
x=0.08935625

now we have:
0.0725% of 123.25=0.08935625
