101.4 is what percent of 134.6 - 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 134.6 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 134.6, so we can write it down as 100%=134.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 101.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=101.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.6
2) x%=101.4
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%=134.6/101.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 101.4 is what percent of 134.6

100%/x%=134.6/101.4
(100/x)*x=(134.6/101.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.32741617357*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.32741617357) to get x
100/1.32741617357=x
75.334323922734=x
x=75.334323922734

now we have:
101.4 is 75.334323922734% of 134.6
