130.46 is what percent of 170.07 - 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 170.07 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 170.07, so we can write it down as 100%=170.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=170.07
2) x%=130.46
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%=170.07/130.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.46 is what percent of 170.07

100%/x%=170.07/130.46
(100/x)*x=(170.07/130.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.303617967193*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.303617967193) to get x
100/1.303617967193=x
76.709590168754=x
x=76.709590168754

now we have:
130.46 is 76.709590168754% of 170.07
