131.7 is what percent of 522.2 - 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 522.2 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 522.2, so we can write it down as 100%=522.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=522.2
2) x%=131.7
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%=522.2/131.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.7 is what percent of 522.2

100%/x%=522.2/131.7
(100/x)*x=(522.2/131.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9650721336371*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9650721336371) to get x
100/3.9650721336371=x
25.220222137112=x
x=25.220222137112

now we have:
131.7 is 25.220222137112% of 522.2
