132.89 is what percent of 230.62 - 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 230.62 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 230.62, so we can write it down as 100%=230.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=230.62
2) x%=132.89
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%=230.62/132.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.89 is what percent of 230.62

100%/x%=230.62/132.89
(100/x)*x=(230.62/132.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7354202724057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7354202724057) to get x
100/1.7354202724057=x
57.622929494406=x
x=57.622929494406

now we have:
