125 - 75, so, the difference is 50

how much is 50 in percentage, of 75? well, if we take 75 to be the 100%

then [tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ 75&100\\ 50&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{75}{50}=\cfrac{100}{x}[/tex]

solve for "x"
