134.84 is what percent of 5884.2 - 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 5884.2 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 5884.2, so we can write it down as 100%=5884.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5884.2
2) x%=134.84
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%=5884.2/134.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.84 is what percent of 5884.2

100%/x%=5884.2/134.84
(100/x)*x=(5884.2/134.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.638386235538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.638386235538) to get x
100/43.638386235538=x
2.2915604500187=x
x=2.2915604500187

now we have:
