139.51 is what percent of 154 - 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 154 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 154, so we can write it down as 100%=154.
4. We know, that x% equals 139.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=139.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154
2) x%=139.51
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%=154/139.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 139.51 is what percent of 154

100%/x%=154/139.51
(100/x)*x=(154/139.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1038635223281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1038635223281) to get x
100/1.1038635223281=x
90.590909090909=x
x=90.590909090909

now we have:
139.51 is 90.590909090909% of 154
