121.15 is what percent of 207 - 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 207 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 207, so we can write it down as 100%=207.
4. We know, that x% equals 121.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=207
2) x%=121.15
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%=207/121.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.15 is what percent of 207

100%/x%=207/121.15
(100/x)*x=(207/121.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7086256706562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7086256706562) to get x
100/1.7086256706562=x
58.526570048309=x
x=58.526570048309

now we have:
121.15 is 58.526570048309% of 207
