132.21 is what percent of 227.28 - 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 227.28 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 227.28, so we can write it down as 100%=227.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=227.28
2) x%=132.21
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%=227.28/132.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.21 is what percent of 227.28

100%/x%=227.28/132.21
(100/x)*x=(227.28/132.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7190832766054*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7190832766054) to get x
100/1.7190832766054=x
58.170538542767=x
x=58.170538542767

now we have:
132.21 is 58.170538542767% of 227.28
