81.54 is what percent of 131.32 - 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 131.32 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 131.32, so we can write it down as 100%=131.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 81.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131.32
2) x%=81.54
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%=131.32/81.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81.54 is what percent of 131.32

100%/x%=131.32/81.54
(100/x)*x=(131.32/81.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6104979151337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6104979151337) to get x
100/1.6104979151337=x
62.092598233323=x
x=62.092598233323

now we have:
81.54 is 62.092598233323% of 131.32
