133.5 is what percent of 180 - 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 180 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 180, so we can write it down as 100%=180.
4. We know, that x% equals 133.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=133.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=180
2) x%=133.5
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%=180/133.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 133.5 is what percent of 180

100%/x%=180/133.5
(100/x)*x=(180/133.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3483146067416*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3483146067416) to get x
100/1.3483146067416=x
74.166666666667=x
x=74.166666666667

now we have:
133.5 is 74.166666666667% of 180
