131.6 is what percent of 243.3 - 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 243.3 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 243.3, so we can write it down as 100%=243.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=243.3
2) x%=131.6
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%=243.3/131.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.6 is what percent of 243.3

100%/x%=243.3/131.6
(100/x)*x=(243.3/131.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8487841945289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8487841945289) to get x
100/1.8487841945289=x
54.089601315249=x
x=54.089601315249

now we have:
131.6 is 54.089601315249% of 243.3
