132.45 is what percent of 183.7 - 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 183.7 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 183.7, so we can write it down as 100%=183.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=183.7
2) x%=132.45
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%=183.7/132.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.45 is what percent of 183.7

100%/x%=183.7/132.45
(100/x)*x=(183.7/132.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3869384673462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3869384673462) to get x
100/1.3869384673462=x
72.101252041372=x
x=72.101252041372

now we have:
132.45 is 72.101252041372% of 183.7
