139.53 is what percent of 220.26 - 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 220.26 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 220.26, so we can write it down as 100%=220.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 139.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=139.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=220.26
2) x%=139.53
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%=220.26/139.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 139.53 is what percent of 220.26

100%/x%=220.26/139.53
(100/x)*x=(220.26/139.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5785852504838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5785852504838) to get x
100/1.5785852504838=x
63.347861618088=x
x=63.347861618088

now we have:
