1.5 is what percent of 0.0149 - 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 0.0149 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 0.0149, so we can write it down as 100%=0.0149.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.0149
2) x%=1.5
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:
100%/x%=0.0149/1.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.5 is what percent of 0.0149

100%/x%=0.0149/1.5
(100/x)*x=(0.0149/1.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0099333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0099333333333333) to get x
100/0.0099333333333333=x
10067.11409396=x
x=10067.11409396

now we have:
1.5 is 10067.11409396% of 0.0149
