Answer:
255.8
Explanation:
To get the solution, you are looking for, you need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 125 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 125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 204.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=204.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 125=100%
2) x=204.6%
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:
125/x=100%/204.6%
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 204.6% of 125
125/x=100/204.6
(125/x)*x=(100/204.6)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
125=0.48875855327468*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.48875855327468) to get x
125/0.48875855327468=x
255.75=x
x=255.75
now you have:
204.6% of 125=255.75
If you round 255.75 to the nearest tenth, it would be 255.8 because rounding to the nearest tenth the number will be 7 because 7 is in the tenth place in 255.<u>7</u>5, so you would round up because anything about the number 5 you will round up and anything below 5 you round down and when you round up you will get 255.8 which is your answer.
Hope this helps :)
