Answer:
1.4 is 125% of 1.12
Explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 1.12 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 100% equals 1.12, so we can write it down as 100%=1.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.12
2) x%=1.4
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:
100%/x%=1.12/1.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 1.4 is what percent of 1.12
100%/x%=1.12/1.4
(100/x)*x=(1.12/1.4)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.8*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.8) to get x
100/0.8=x
125=x
x=125
now we have:
1.4 is 125% of 1.12
