40.8 is what percent of 134.48 - 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 134.48 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 134.48, so we can write it down as 100%=134.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 40.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=40.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.48
2) x%=40.8
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%=134.48/40.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 40.8 is what percent of 134.48

100%/x%=134.48/40.8
(100/x)*x=(134.48/40.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2960784313725*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2960784313725) to get x
100/3.2960784313725=x
30.339083878644=x
x=30.339083878644

now we have:
40.8 is 30.339083878644% of 134.48
