131.39 is what percent of 303.5 - 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 303.5 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 303.5, so we can write it down as 100%=303.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=303.5
2) x%=131.39
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%=303.5/131.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.39 is what percent of 303.5

100%/x%=303.5/131.39
(100/x)*x=(303.5/131.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3099170408707*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3099170408707) to get x
100/2.3099170408707=x
43.291598023064=x
x=43.291598023064

now we have:
131.39 is 43.291598023064% of 303.5
