139.76 is what percent of 233.39 - 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 233.39 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 233.39, so we can write it down as 100%=233.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 139.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=139.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=233.39
2) x%=139.76
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%=233.39/139.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 139.76 is what percent of 233.39

100%/x%=233.39/139.76
(100/x)*x=(233.39/139.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6699341728678*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6699341728678) to get x
100/1.6699341728678=x
59.882599940015=x
x=59.882599940015

now we have:
139.76 is 59.882599940015% of 233.39
