143.06 is what percent of 1734 - 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 1734 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 1734, so we can write it down as 100%=1734.
4. We know, that x% equals 143.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=143.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1734
2) x%=143.06
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%=1734/143.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 143.06 is what percent of 1734

100%/x%=1734/143.06
(100/x)*x=(1734/143.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.120788480358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.120788480358) to get x
100/12.120788480358=x
8.2502883506344=x
x=8.2502883506344

now we have:
143.06 is 8.2502883506344% of 1734
