Answer:
58.4
Explanation:
73:125*100 =
(73*100):125 =
7300:125 = 58.4
Now we have: 73 is what percent of 125 = 58.4
Question: 73 is what percent of 125?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 125 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=125$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=73$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=125(1)$.
$x\%=73(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{73}$
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{73}{125}$
$\Rightarrow x=58.4\%$
Therefore, $73$ is $58.4\%$ of $125$.
