131.83 is what percent of 691.7 - 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 691.7 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 691.7, so we can write it down as 100%=691.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=691.7
2) x%=131.83
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%=691.7/131.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.83 is what percent of 691.7

100%/x%=691.7/131.83
(100/x)*x=(691.7/131.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.246908897823*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.246908897823) to get x
100/5.246908897823=x
19.058840537805=x
x=19.058840537805

now we have:
131.83 is 19.058840537805% of 691.7
