What is 145 percent of 212 - 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 212 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 212 is 100%, so we can write it down as 212=100%.
4. We know, that x is 145% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=145%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 212=100%
2) x=145%
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:
212/x=100%/145%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 145% of 212

212/x=100/145
(212/x)*x=(100/145)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
212=0.68965517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.68965517241379) to get x
212/0.68965517241379=x
307.4=x
x=307.4

now we have:
145% of 212=307.4
