131.75 is what percent of 2125.01 - 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 2125.01 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 2125.01, so we can write it down as 100%=2125.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2125.01
2) x%=131.75
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%=2125.01/131.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.75 is what percent of 2125.01

100%/x%=2125.01/131.75
(100/x)*x=(2125.01/131.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.129108159393*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.129108159393) to get x
100/16.129108159393=x
6.1999708236667=x
x=6.1999708236667

now we have:
131.75 is 6.1999708236667% of 2125.01
