If you haven't learned what percentage is yet, or would like a little refresher, feel free to check out our introduction to percentage page. To solve percentage problems, it may be useful to use a calculator. But, they can also be solved by hand or in your head (if you practice enough). So, how did we get to the solution that 48 percent of 125 = 60?

• Step 1: As we know, a whole of something is equal to 100%. In this case, we want to find what 48% of 125 is. We know that 100% of 125 is, well, just 125.
• Step 2: If 100% of 125 is 125, then we can get 1% of 125 by dividing it by 100. Let's do 125 / 100. This is equal to 1.25. Now we know that 1% is 1.25.
