What is 33.5 percent of 134.5 - 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 134.5 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 134.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 134.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 134.5=100%
2) x=33.5%
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:
134.5/x=100%/33.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 33.5% of 134.5

134.5/x=100/33.5
(134.5/x)*x=(100/33.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
134.5=2.9850746268657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9850746268657) to get x
134.5/2.9850746268657=x
45.0575=x
x=45.0575

now we have:
33.5% of 134.5=45.0575
