144.15 is what percent of 555.7 - 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 555.7 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 555.7, so we can write it down as 100%=555.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 144.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=144.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=555.7
2) x%=144.15
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%=555.7/144.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 144.15 is what percent of 555.7

100%/x%=555.7/144.15
(100/x)*x=(555.7/144.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8550121401318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8550121401318) to get x
100/3.8550121401318=x
25.940255533561=x
x=25.940255533561

now we have:
144.15 is 25.940255533561% of 555.7
