127.48 is what percent of 616 - 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 616 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 616, so we can write it down as 100%=616.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=616
2) x%=127.48
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%=616/127.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.48 is what percent of 616

100%/x%=616/127.48
(100/x)*x=(616/127.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8321305302793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8321305302793) to get x
100/4.8321305302793=x
20.694805194805=x
x=20.694805194805

now we have:
127.48 is 20.694805194805% of 616
