What is 45.4 percent of 136.2 - 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 136.2 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 136.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 136.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 136.2=100%
2) x=45.4%
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:
136.2/x=100%/45.4%
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 45.4% of 136.2

136.2/x=100/45.4
(136.2/x)*x=(100/45.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
136.2=2.2026431718062*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2026431718062) to get x
136.2/2.2026431718062=x
61.8348=x
x=61.8348

now we have:
45.4% of 136.2=61.8348
