102.2 is what percent of 132 - 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 132 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 132, so we can write it down as 100%=132.
4. We know, that x% equals 102.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=102.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132
2) x%=102.2
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%=132/102.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 102.2 is what percent of 132

100%/x%=132/102.2
(100/x)*x=(132/102.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2915851272016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2915851272016) to get x
100/1.2915851272016=x
77.424242424242=x
x=77.424242424242

now we have:
102.2 is 77.424242424242% of 132
