121.34 is what percent of 175 - 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 175 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 175, so we can write it down as 100%=175.
4. We know, that x% equals 121.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=175
2) x%=121.34
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%=175/121.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.34 is what percent of 175

100%/x%=175/121.34
(100/x)*x=(175/121.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4422284489863*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4422284489863) to get x
100/1.4422284489863=x
69.337142857143=x
x=69.337142857143

now we have:
121.34 is 69.337142857143% of 175
