128.9 is what percent of 235.2 - 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 235.2 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 235.2, so we can write it down as 100%=235.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 128.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=128.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=235.2
2) x%=128.9
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%=235.2/128.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 128.9 is what percent of 235.2

100%/x%=235.2/128.9
(100/x)*x=(235.2/128.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8246702870442*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8246702870442) to get x
100/1.8246702870442=x
54.804421768707=x
x=54.804421768707

now we have:
128.9 is 54.804421768707% of 235.2
