17.57 is what percent of 134.61 - 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 134.61 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 134.61, so we can write it down as 100%=134.61.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.61
2) x%=17.57
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%=134.61/17.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.57 is what percent of 134.61

100%/x%=134.61/17.57
(100/x)*x=(134.61/17.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6613545816733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6613545816733) to get x
100/7.6613545816733=x
13.052522100884=x
x=13.052522100884

now we have:
17.57 is 13.052522100884% of 134.61
