10.04 is what percent of 134.98 - 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 134.98 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 134.98, so we can write it down as 100%=134.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.98
2) x%=10.04
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%=134.98/10.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.04 is what percent of 134.98

100%/x%=134.98/10.04
(100/x)*x=(134.98/10.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.44422310757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.44422310757) to get x
100/13.44422310757=x
7.4381389835531=x
x=7.4381389835531

now we have:
10.04 is 7.4381389835531% of 134.98
