It depends on how your teacher told you to solve it. Basically what you're asking yourself is this:

48000 is x% of 132500

call is the same as the equals sign and of the same as multiplication and you have

48000 = x(132500)

Than all you have to do is to solve the equation.

If your teacher told you to use ratios you'd need to set it up differently.
