1 is what percent of 141.265 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 141.265 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 141.265, so we can write it down as 100%=141.265.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=141.265
2) x%=1
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=141.265/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 141.265

100%/x%=141.265/1
(100/x)*x=(141.265/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=141.265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (141.265) to get x
100/141.265=x
0.7078894276714=x
x=0.7078894276714

now we have:
1 is 0.7078894276714% of 141.265
