110.25 is what percent of 135.5 - 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 135.5 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 135.5, so we can write it down as 100%=135.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 110.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=110.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=135.5
2) x%=110.25
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%=135.5/110.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 110.25 is what percent of 135.5

100%/x%=135.5/110.25
(100/x)*x=(135.5/110.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2290249433107*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2290249433107) to get x
100/1.2290249433107=x
81.365313653137=x
x=81.365313653137

now we have:
110.25 is 81.365313653137% of 135.5
