1.48 is what percent of 16.04 - 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 16.04 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 16.04, so we can write it down as 100%=16.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.04
2) x%=1.48
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%=16.04/1.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.48 is what percent of 16.04

100%/x%=16.04/1.48
(100/x)*x=(16.04/1.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.837837837838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.837837837838) to get x
100/10.837837837838=x
9.2269326683292=x
x=9.2269326683292

now we have:
1.48 is 9.2269326683292% of 16.04
