144.63 is what percent of 774 - 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 774 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 774, so we can write it down as 100%=774.
4. We know, that x% equals 144.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=144.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=774
2) x%=144.63
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%=774/144.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 144.63 is what percent of 774

100%/x%=774/144.63
(100/x)*x=(774/144.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3515868077162*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3515868077162) to get x
100/5.3515868077162=x
18.686046511628=x
x=18.686046511628

now we have:
144.63 is 18.686046511628% of 774
