148.51 is what percent of 182.01 - 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 182.01 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 182.01, so we can write it down as 100%=182.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 148.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=148.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=182.01
2) x%=148.51
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%=182.01/148.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 148.51 is what percent of 182.01

100%/x%=182.01/148.51
(100/x)*x=(182.01/148.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2255740354185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2255740354185) to get x
100/1.2255740354185=x
81.594417889127=x
x=81.594417889127

now we have:
148.51 is 81.594417889127% of 182.01
