38.01 is what percent of 143.99 - 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 143.99 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 143.99, so we can write it down as 100%=143.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.99
2) x%=38.01
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%=143.99/38.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.01 is what percent of 143.99

100%/x%=143.99/38.01
(100/x)*x=(143.99/38.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7882136279926*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7882136279926) to get x
100/3.7882136279926=x
26.397666504618=x
x=26.397666504618

now we have:
38.01 is 26.397666504618% of 143.99
