132.43 is what percent of 573.43 - 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 573.43 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 573.43, so we can write it down as 100%=573.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=573.43
2) x%=132.43
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%=573.43/132.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.43 is what percent of 573.43

100%/x%=573.43/132.43
(100/x)*x=(573.43/132.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3300611643887*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3300611643887) to get x
100/4.3300611643887=x
23.094361997105=x
x=23.094361997105

now we have:
