9.72 is what percent of 131.73 - 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 131.73 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 131.73, so we can write it down as 100%=131.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131.73
2) x%=9.72
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%=131.73/9.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.72 is what percent of 131.73

100%/x%=131.73/9.72
(100/x)*x=(131.73/9.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.552469135802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.552469135802) to get x
100/13.552469135802=x
7.3787292188568=x
x=7.3787292188568

now we have:
9.72 is 7.3787292188568% of 131.73
