952.38 is what percent of 142 - 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 142 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 142, so we can write it down as 100%=142.
4. We know, that x% equals 952.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=952.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=142
2) x%=952.38
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%=142/952.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 952.38 is what percent of 142

100%/x%=142/952.38
(100/x)*x=(142/952.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.14910014910015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14910014910015) to get x
100/0.14910014910015=x
670.69014084507=x
x=670.69014084507

now we have:
952.38 is 670.69014084507% of 142
