124.13 is what percent of 179.17 - 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 179.17 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 179.17, so we can write it down as 100%=179.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=179.17
2) x%=124.13
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%=179.17/124.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.13 is what percent of 179.17

100%/x%=179.17/124.13
(100/x)*x=(179.17/124.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4434061065012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4434061065012) to get x
100/1.4434061065012=x
69.280571524251=x
x=69.280571524251

now we have:
124.13 is 69.280571524251% of 179.17
