127.5 is what percent of 134.02 - 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 134.02 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 134.02, so we can write it down as 100%=134.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.02
2) x%=127.5
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%=134.02/127.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.5 is what percent of 134.02

100%/x%=134.02/127.5
(100/x)*x=(134.02/127.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.051137254902*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.051137254902) to get x
100/1.051137254902=x
95.135054469482=x
x=95.135054469482

now we have:
127.5 is 95.135054469482% of 134.02
