134.91 is what percent of 579 - 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 579 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 579, so we can write it down as 100%=579.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=579
2) x%=134.91
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%=579/134.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.91 is what percent of 579

100%/x%=579/134.91
(100/x)*x=(579/134.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2917500555926*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2917500555926) to get x
100/4.2917500555926=x
23.300518134715=x
x=23.300518134715

now we have:
134.91 is 23.300518134715% of 579
