118.68 is what percent of 135 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=135.
4. We know, that x% equals 118.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=118.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=135
2) x%=118.68
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%=135/118.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 118.68 is what percent of 135

100%/x%=135/118.68
(100/x)*x=(135/118.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1375126390293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1375126390293) to get x
100/1.1375126390293=x
87.911111111111=x
x=87.911111111111

now we have:
118.68 is 87.911111111111% of 135
