132.4 is what percent of 250.22 - 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 250.22 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 250.22, so we can write it down as 100%=250.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250.22
2) x%=132.4
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:
100%/x%=250.22/132.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.4 is what percent of 250.22

100%/x%=250.22/132.4
(100/x)*x=(250.22/132.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8898791540785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8898791540785) to get x
100/1.8898791540785=x
52.913436176165=x
x=52.913436176165

now we have:
132.4 is 52.913436176165% of 250.22
