Question

37 mm as a percentage of 148 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

We assume, that the number 148 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 148, so we can write it down as 100%=148.

4. We know, that x% equals 37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=148

2) x%=37

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%=148/37

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37 is what percent of 148

100%/x%=148/37

(100/x)*x=(148/37)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x

100/4=x

25=x

x=25

Answer 2

Let the percentage be x

x/100*148=0.37

x=37/148

x=0.25
