Question: 500 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, $x%=500$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=125(1)

x%=500(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

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{500}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{500}{125}$

$\Rightarrow x=400\%$

Therefore, 500 is 400% of 125

Hope this answer helps and answers your question! Have a great day/night!
