131.15 is what percent of 1311.49 - 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 1311.49 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 1311.49, so we can write it down as 100%=1311.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1311.49
2) x%=131.15
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%=1311.49/131.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.15 is what percent of 1311.49

100%/x%=1311.49/131.15
(100/x)*x=(1311.49/131.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.9999237514297*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.9999237514297) to get x
100/9.9999237514297=x
10.000076249152=x
x=10.000076249152

now we have:
131.15 is 10.000076249152% of 1311.49
