130.98 is what percent of 837.05 - 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 837.05 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 837.05, so we can write it down as 100%=837.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=837.05
2) x%=130.98
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%=837.05/130.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.98 is what percent of 837.05

100%/x%=837.05/130.98
(100/x)*x=(837.05/130.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3906703313483*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3906703313483) to get x
100/6.3906703313483=x
15.647810763993=x
x=15.647810763993

now we have:
130.98 is 15.647810763993% of 837.05
