143.37 is what percent of 1650 - 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 1650 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 1650, so we can write it down as 100%=1650.
4. We know, that x% equals 143.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=143.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1650
2) x%=143.37
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%=1650/143.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 143.37 is what percent of 1650

100%/x%=1650/143.37
(100/x)*x=(1650/143.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.508683825068*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.508683825068) to get x
100/11.508683825068=x
8.6890909090909=x
x=8.6890909090909

now we have:
143.37 is 8.6890909090909% of 1650
