134.6 is what percent of 98 - 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 98 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 98, so we can write it down as 100%=98.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=98
2) x%=134.6
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%=98/134.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.6 is what percent of 98

100%/x%=98/134.6
(100/x)*x=(98/134.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.72808320950966*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.72808320950966) to get x
100/0.72808320950966=x
137.34693877551=x
x=137.34693877551

now we have:
134.6 is 137.34693877551% of 98
