130.43 is what percent of 2.948 - 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 2.948 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 2.948, so we can write it down as 100%=2.948.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.948
2) x%=130.43
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%=2.948/130.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.43 is what percent of 2.948

100%/x%=2.948/130.43
(100/x)*x=(2.948/130.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.022602162079276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.022602162079276) to get x
100/0.022602162079276=x
4424.355495251=x
x=4424.355495251

now we have:
130.43 is 4424.355495251% of 2.948
