131.75 is what percent of 365 - 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 365 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 365, so we can write it down as 100%=365.
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%=365
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%=365/131.75
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 365

100%/x%=365/131.75
(100/x)*x=(365/131.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7703984819734*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7703984819734) to get x
100/2.7703984819734=x
36.095890410959=x
x=36.095890410959

now we have:
131.75 is 36.095890410959% of 365
