135.37 is what percent of 1424.96 - 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 1424.96 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 1424.96, so we can write it down as 100%=1424.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 135.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=135.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1424.96
2) x%=135.37
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%=1424.96/135.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 135.37 is what percent of 1424.96

100%/x%=1424.96/135.37
(100/x)*x=(1424.96/135.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.526409100982*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.526409100982) to get x
100/10.526409100982=x
9.4999157871098=x
x=9.4999157871098

now we have:
135.37 is 9.4999157871098% of 1424.96
