141.44 is what percent of 274.85 - 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 274.85 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 274.85, so we can write it down as 100%=274.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 141.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=141.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=274.85
2) x%=141.44
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%=274.85/141.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 141.44 is what percent of 274.85

100%/x%=274.85/141.44
(100/x)*x=(274.85/141.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9432268099548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9432268099548) to get x
100/1.9432268099548=x
51.460796798254=x
x=51.460796798254

now we have:
