123 is what percent of 1356.66 - 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 1356.66 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 1356.66, so we can write it down as 100%=1356.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 123 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=123.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1356.66
2) x%=123
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%=1356.66/123
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 123 is what percent of 1356.66

100%/x%=1356.66/123
(100/x)*x=(1356.66/123)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.029756097561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.029756097561) to get x
100/11.029756097561=x
9.0663836185927=x
x=9.0663836185927

now we have:
123 is 9.0663836185927% of 1356.66
