104.37 is what percent of 132.3 - 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 132.3 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 132.3, so we can write it down as 100%=132.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 104.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=104.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132.3
2) x%=104.37
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%=132.3/104.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 104.37 is what percent of 132.3

100%/x%=132.3/104.37
(100/x)*x=(132.3/104.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2676056338028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2676056338028) to get x
100/1.2676056338028=x
78.888888888889=x
x=78.888888888889

now we have:
104.37 is 78.888888888889% of 132.3
