1.34 is what percent of 2.28 - 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 2.28 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 2.28, so we can write it down as 100%=2.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.28
2) x%=1.34
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%=2.28/1.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.34 is what percent of 2.28

100%/x%=2.28/1.34
(100/x)*x=(2.28/1.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7014925373134*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7014925373134) to get x
100/1.7014925373134=x
58.771929824561=x
x=58.771929824561

now we have:
1.34 is 58.771929824561% of 2.28
