4.36 is what percent of 134 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=134.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134
2) x%=4.36
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%=134/4.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.36 is what percent of 134

100%/x%=134/4.36
(100/x)*x=(134/4.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.733944954128*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.733944954128) to get x
100/30.733944954128=x
3.2537313432836=x
x=3.2537313432836

now we have:
4.36 is 3.2537313432836% of 134
