133.07 is what percent of 1499.4 - 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 1499.4 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 1499.4, so we can write it down as 100%=1499.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 133.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=133.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1499.4
2) x%=133.07
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%=1499.4/133.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 133.07 is what percent of 1499.4

100%/x%=1499.4/133.07
(100/x)*x=(1499.4/133.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.267753813782*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.267753813782) to get x
100/11.267753813782=x
8.874883286648=x
x=8.874883286648

now we have:
133.07 is 8.874883286648% of 1499.4
