94.25 is what percent of 149 - 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 149 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 149, so we can write it down as 100%=149.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=149
2) x%=94.25
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%=149/94.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.25 is what percent of 149

100%/x%=149/94.25
(100/x)*x=(149/94.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5809018567639*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5809018567639) to get x
100/1.5809018567639=x
63.255033557047=x
x=63.255033557047

now we have:
94.25 is 63.255033557047% of 149
