146.75 is what percent of 180.25 - 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 180.25 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 180.25, so we can write it down as 100%=180.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 146.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=146.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=180.25
2) x%=146.75
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%=180.25/146.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 146.75 is what percent of 180.25

100%/x%=180.25/146.75
(100/x)*x=(180.25/146.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2282793867121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2282793867121) to get x
100/1.2282793867121=x
81.414701803051=x
x=81.414701803051

now we have:
146.75 is 81.414701803051% of 180.25
