136.62 is what percent of 908.58 - 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 908.58 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 908.58, so we can write it down as 100%=908.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 136.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=136.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=908.58
2) x%=136.62
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%=908.58/136.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 136.62 is what percent of 908.58

100%/x%=908.58/136.62
(100/x)*x=(908.58/136.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6504172156346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6504172156346) to get x
100/6.6504172156346=x
15.036650597636=x
x=15.036650597636

now we have:
