89 is what percent of 136000 - 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 136000 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 136000, so we can write it down as 100%=136000.
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%=136000
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%=136000/89
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 136000

100%/x%=136000/89
(100/x)*x=(136000/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1528.0898876404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1528.0898876404) to get x
100/1528.0898876404=x
0.065441176470588=x
x=0.065441176470588

now we have:
89 is 0.065441176470588% of 136000
