132.08 is what percent of 799 - 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 799 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 799, so we can write it down as 100%=799.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=799
2) x%=132.08
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%=799/132.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.08 is what percent of 799

100%/x%=799/132.08
(100/x)*x=(799/132.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.049364021805*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.049364021805) to get x
100/6.049364021805=x
16.530663329161=x
x=16.530663329161

now we have:
132.08 is 16.530663329161% of 799
