To find the number that 8251 is 127% of, you can set up the equation as follows:
8251 = x + 127% of x
To solve for x, you need to remove the percentage. Percent means "per 100," so 127% can be written as 1.27 in decimal form.
8251 = x + 1.27x
Combine like terms:

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.27:
x = 8251 / 2.27
Using a calculator, you'll find that x is approximately equal to 3632.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Therefore, 8251 is approximately 127% of 3632.2, not 6496.9 or 65.
