135.5 is what percent of 737.92 - 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 737.92 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 737.92, so we can write it down as 100%=737.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 135.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=135.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=737.92
2) x%=135.5
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%=737.92/135.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 135.5 is what percent of 737.92

100%/x%=737.92/135.5
(100/x)*x=(737.92/135.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4459040590406*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4459040590406) to get x
100/5.4459040590406=x
18.362424111015=x
x=18.362424111015

now we have:
135.5 is 18.362424111015% of 737.92
