Question

1.4 is what percent of 1.12?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.4 is 125% of 1.12

Step-by-step 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
