134.24 is what percent of 1851.55 - 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 1851.55 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 1851.55, so we can write it down as 100%=1851.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1851.55
2) x%=134.24
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%=1851.55/134.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.24 is what percent of 1851.55

100%/x%=1851.55/134.24
(100/x)*x=(1851.55/134.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.792833730632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.792833730632) to get x
100/13.792833730632=x
7.250141773109=x
x=7.250141773109

now we have:
134.24 is 7.250141773109% of 1851.55
