134.01 is what percent of 265.99 - 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 265.99 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 265.99, so we can write it down as 100%=265.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=265.99
2) x%=134.01
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%=265.99/134.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.01 is what percent of 265.99

100%/x%=265.99/134.01
(100/x)*x=(265.99/134.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9848518767256*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9848518767256) to get x
100/1.9848518767256=x
50.381593292981=x
x=50.381593292981

now we have:
134.01 is 50.381593292981% of 265.99
