148.7 is what percent of 2431.14 - 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 2431.14 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 2431.14, so we can write it down as 100%=2431.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 148.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=148.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2431.14
2) x%=148.7
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%=2431.14/148.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 148.7 is what percent of 2431.14

100%/x%=2431.14/148.7
(100/x)*x=(2431.14/148.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.349293880296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.349293880296) to get x
100/16.349293880296=x
6.1164721077355=x
x=6.1164721077355

now we have:
148.7 is 6.1164721077355% of 2431.14
