1.45 is what percent of 3.271 - 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 3.271 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 3.271, so we can write it down as 100%=3.271.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.271
2) x%=1.45
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%=3.271/1.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.45 is what percent of 3.271

100%/x%=3.271/1.45
(100/x)*x=(3.271/1.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2558620689655*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2558620689655) to get x
100/2.2558620689655=x
44.328951391012=x
x=44.328951391012

now we have:
1.45 is 44.328951391012% of 3.271
