Hello there! 106,250 is 85% of a number, which is represented by z. To find the value of z, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

106,250/z = 85/100

This is because 106,250 is part of a whole, and 85% is a part of 100%. Let's cross multiply the values. 106,250 * 100 is 10,625,000. 85 * z is 85z. That simplifies to 10,625,000 = 85z. Now, divide each side by 85 to isolate the z. 85z/85 cancels out. 10,625,000/85 is 125,000. There. z = 125,000.
