120.55 is what percent of 664.83 - 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 664.83 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 664.83, so we can write it down as 100%=664.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 120.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=120.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=664.83
2) x%=120.55
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%=664.83/120.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 120.55 is what percent of 664.83

100%/x%=664.83/120.55
(100/x)*x=(664.83/120.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5149730402323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5149730402323) to get x
100/5.5149730402323=x
18.132454913286=x
x=18.132454913286

now we have:
120.55 is 18.132454913286% of 664.83
