134.1 is what percent of 136 - 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 136 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 136, so we can write it down as 100%=136.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136
2) x%=134.1
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%=136/134.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.1 is what percent of 136

100%/x%=136/134.1
(100/x)*x=(136/134.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0141685309471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0141685309471) to get x
100/1.0141685309471=x
98.602941176471=x
x=98.602941176471

now we have:
134.1 is 98.602941176471% of 136
