108.12 is what percent of 136.12 - 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 136.12 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 136.12, so we can write it down as 100%=136.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 108.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=108.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136.12
2) x%=108.12
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%=136.12/108.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 108.12 is what percent of 136.12

100%/x%=136.12/108.12
(100/x)*x=(136.12/108.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2589715131336*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2589715131336) to get x
100/1.2589715131336=x
79.429914781076=x
x=79.429914781076

now we have:
108.12 is 79.429914781076% of 136.12
