127.96 is what percent of 639.82 - 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 639.82 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 639.82, so we can write it down as 100%=639.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=639.82
2) x%=127.96
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%=639.82/127.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.96 is what percent of 639.82

100%/x%=639.82/127.96
(100/x)*x=(639.82/127.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0001562988434*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0001562988434) to get x
100/5.0001562988434=x
19.999374824169=x
x=19.999374824169

now we have:
