1.52 is what percent of 1.36 - 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 1.36 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 1.36, so we can write it down as 100%=1.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.36
2) x%=1.52
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%=1.36/1.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.52 is what percent of 1.36

100%/x%=1.36/1.52
(100/x)*x=(1.36/1.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.89473684210526*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.89473684210526) to get x
100/0.89473684210526=x
111.76470588235=x
x=111.76470588235

now we have:
1.52 is 111.76470588235% of 1.36
