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

`(100\%)/(x\%)=(125)/(500)`

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

`(x\%)/(100\%)=(500)/(125)`

`\Rightarrow x=400\%`

Therefore, 500 is 400% of 125
