5.77 is what percent of 131.43 - 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 131.43 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 131.43, so we can write it down as 100%=131.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131.43
2) x%=5.77
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%=131.43/5.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.77 is what percent of 131.43

100%/x%=131.43/5.77
(100/x)*x=(131.43/5.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.778162911612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.778162911612) to get x
100/22.778162911612=x
4.3901696720688=x
x=4.3901696720688

now we have:
5.77 is 4.3901696720688% of 131.43
