1.51 is what percent of 60.53 - 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 60.53 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 60.53, so we can write it down as 100%=60.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.53
2) x%=1.51
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%=60.53/1.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.51 is what percent of 60.53

100%/x%=60.53/1.51
(100/x)*x=(60.53/1.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.086092715232*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.086092715232) to get x
100/40.086092715232=x
2.4946307616058=x
x=2.4946307616058

now we have:
1.51 is 2.4946307616058% of 60.53
