127.59 is what percent of 141.62 - 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 141.62 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 141.62, so we can write it down as 100%=141.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=141.62
2) x%=127.59
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%=141.62/127.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.59 is what percent of 141.62

100%/x%=141.62/127.59
(100/x)*x=(141.62/127.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1099615957363*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1099615957363) to get x
100/1.1099615957363=x
90.093207174128=x
x=90.093207174128

now we have:
