5187.5 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 5187.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5187.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134
2) x%=5187.5
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%=134/5187.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5187.5 is what percent of 134

100%/x%=134/5187.5
(100/x)*x=(134/5187.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.025831325301205*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.025831325301205) to get x
100/0.025831325301205=x
3871.2686567164=x
x=3871.2686567164

now we have:
5187.5 is 3871.2686567164% of 134
