134.58 is what percent of 582.35 - 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 582.35 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 582.35, so we can write it down as 100%=582.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=582.35
2) x%=134.58
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%=582.35/134.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.58 is what percent of 582.35

100%/x%=582.35/134.58
(100/x)*x=(582.35/134.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3271659979195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3271659979195) to get x
100/4.3271659979195=x
23.109813685928=x
x=23.109813685928

now we have:
