141.25 is what percent of 945 - 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 945 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 945, so we can write it down as 100%=945.
4. We know, that x% equals 141.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=141.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=945
2) x%=141.25
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%=945/141.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 141.25 is what percent of 945

100%/x%=945/141.25
(100/x)*x=(945/141.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6902654867257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6902654867257) to get x
100/6.6902654867257=x
14.94708994709=x
x=14.94708994709

now we have:
141.25 is 14.94708994709% of 945
