62.55 is what percent of 138.99 - 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 138.99 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 138.99, so we can write it down as 100%=138.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=138.99
2) x%=62.55
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%=138.99/62.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.55 is what percent of 138.99

100%/x%=138.99/62.55
(100/x)*x=(138.99/62.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2220623501199*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2220623501199) to get x
100/2.2220623501199=x
45.003237642996=x
x=45.003237642996

now we have:
62.55 is 45.003237642996% of 138.99
