133.76 is what percent of 3175.96 - 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 3175.96 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 3175.96, so we can write it down as 100%=3175.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 133.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=133.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3175.96
2) x%=133.76
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%=3175.96/133.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 133.76 is what percent of 3175.96

100%/x%=3175.96/133.76
(100/x)*x=(3175.96/133.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.743720095694*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.743720095694) to get x
100/23.743720095694=x
4.2116399450875=x
x=4.2116399450875

now we have:
133.76 is 4.2116399450875% of 3175.96
