132.92 is what percent of 246 - 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 246 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 246, so we can write it down as 100%=246.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=246
2) x%=132.92
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%=246/132.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.92 is what percent of 246

100%/x%=246/132.92
(100/x)*x=(246/132.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8507372855853*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8507372855853) to get x
100/1.8507372855853=x
54.032520325203=x
x=54.032520325203

now we have:
132.92 is 54.032520325203% of 246
