89 is what percent of 134.39 - 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 134.39 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 134.39, so we can write it down as 100%=134.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134.39
2) x%=89
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%=134.39/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 134.39

100%/x%=134.39/89
(100/x)*x=(134.39/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.51*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.51) to get x
100/1.51=x
66.225165562914=x
x=66.225165562914

now we have:
89 is 66.225165562914% of 134.39
