148.91 is what percent of 545.08 - 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 545.08 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 545.08, so we can write it down as 100%=545.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 148.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=148.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=545.08
2) x%=148.91
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%=545.08/148.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 148.91 is what percent of 545.08

100%/x%=545.08/148.91
(100/x)*x=(545.08/148.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6604660533208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6604660533208) to get x
100/3.6604660533208=x
27.318925662288=x
x=27.318925662288

now we have:
