124.28 is what percent of 228.92 - 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 228.92 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 228.92, so we can write it down as 100%=228.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=228.92
2) x%=124.28
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%=228.92/124.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.28 is what percent of 228.92

100%/x%=228.92/124.28
(100/x)*x=(228.92/124.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8419697457354*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8419697457354) to get x
100/1.8419697457354=x
54.289708195003=x
x=54.289708195003

now we have:
