1.498 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.498 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.498.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=1.498
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%=1/1.498
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.498 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/1.498
(100/x)*x=(1/1.498)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.6675567423231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.6675567423231) to get x
100/0.6675567423231=x
149.8=x
x=149.8

now we have:
1.498 is 149.8% of 1
