1.51 is what percent of 9.26 - 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 9.26 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 9.26, so we can write it down as 100%=9.26.
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%=9.26
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%=9.26/1.51
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 9.26

100%/x%=9.26/1.51
(100/x)*x=(9.26/1.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1324503311258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1324503311258) to get x
100/6.1324503311258=x
16.306695464363=x
x=16.306695464363

now we have:
1.51 is 16.306695464363% of 9.26
