136.81 is what percent of 264.81 - 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 264.81 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 264.81, so we can write it down as 100%=264.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 136.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=136.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=264.81
2) x%=136.81
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%=264.81/136.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 136.81 is what percent of 264.81

100%/x%=264.81/136.81
(100/x)*x=(264.81/136.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9356041225057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9356041225057) to get x
100/1.9356041225057=x
51.663456818096=x
x=51.663456818096

now we have:
136.81 is 51.663456818096% of 264.81
