59.85 is what percent of 136 - 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 136 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 136, so we can write it down as 100%=136.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136
2) x%=59.85
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%=136/59.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.85 is what percent of 136

100%/x%=136/59.85
(100/x)*x=(136/59.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2723475355054*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2723475355054) to get x
100/2.2723475355054=x
44.007352941176=x
x=44.007352941176

now we have:
59.85 is 44.007352941176% of 136
