43.64 is what percent of 143.64 - 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 143.64 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 143.64, so we can write it down as 100%=143.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.64
2) x%=43.64
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%=143.64/43.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.64 is what percent of 143.64

100%/x%=143.64/43.64
(100/x)*x=(143.64/43.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2914757103575*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2914757103575) to get x
100/3.2914757103575=x
30.381509328878=x
x=30.381509328878

now we have:
43.64 is 30.381509328878% of 143.64
