27.96 is what percent of 147.04 - 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 147.04 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 147.04, so we can write it down as 100%=147.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=147.04
2) x%=27.96
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%=147.04/27.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.96 is what percent of 147.04

100%/x%=147.04/27.96
(100/x)*x=(147.04/27.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2589413447783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2589413447783) to get x
100/5.2589413447783=x
19.015233949946=x
x=19.015233949946

now we have:
27.96 is 19.015233949946% of 147.04
