50.05 is what percent of 143.39 - 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 143.39 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 143.39, so we can write it down as 100%=143.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.39
2) x%=50.05
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%=143.39/50.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.05 is what percent of 143.39

100%/x%=143.39/50.05
(100/x)*x=(143.39/50.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8649350649351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8649350649351) to get x
100/2.8649350649351=x
34.904805077063=x
x=34.904805077063

now we have:
50.05 is 34.904805077063% of 143.39
