144.6 is what percent of 330 - 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 330 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 330, so we can write it down as 100%=330.
4. We know, that x% equals 144.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=144.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330
2) x%=144.6
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%=330/144.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 144.6 is what percent of 330

100%/x%=330/144.6
(100/x)*x=(330/144.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2821576763485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2821576763485) to get x
100/2.2821576763485=x
43.818181818182=x
x=43.818181818182

now we have:
144.6 is 43.818181818182% of 330
