134.5 is what percent of 483 - 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 483 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 483, so we can write it down as 100%=483.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=483
2) x%=134.5
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%=483/134.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.5 is what percent of 483

100%/x%=483/134.5
(100/x)*x=(483/134.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5910780669145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5910780669145) to get x
100/3.5910780669145=x
27.846790890269=x
x=27.846790890269

now we have:
134.5 is 27.846790890269% of 483
