132.75 is what percent of 148 - 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 148 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 148, so we can write it down as 100%=148.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=148
2) x%=132.75
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%=148/132.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.75 is what percent of 148

100%/x%=148/132.75
(100/x)*x=(148/132.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1148775894539*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1148775894539) to get x
100/1.1148775894539=x
89.695945945946=x
x=89.695945945946

now we have:
132.75 is 89.695945945946% of 148
