133.97 is what percent of 342.85 - 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 342.85 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 342.85, so we can write it down as 100%=342.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 133.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=133.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=342.85
2) x%=133.97
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%=342.85/133.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 133.97 is what percent of 342.85

100%/x%=342.85/133.97
(100/x)*x=(342.85/133.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5591550347093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5591550347093) to get x
100/2.5591550347093=x
39.075397404113=x
x=39.075397404113

now we have:
133.97 is 39.075397404113% of 342.85
