143.99 is what percent of 191.98 - 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 191.98 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 191.98, so we can write it down as 100%=191.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 143.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=143.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=191.98
2) x%=143.99
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%=191.98/143.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 143.99 is what percent of 191.98

100%/x%=191.98/143.99
(100/x)*x=(191.98/143.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3332870338218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3332870338218) to get x
100/1.3332870338218=x
75.002604437962=x
x=75.002604437962

now we have:
