1.52 is what percent of 12.06 - 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 12.06 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 12.06, so we can write it down as 100%=12.06.
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%=12.06
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%=12.06/1.52
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 12.06

100%/x%=12.06/1.52
(100/x)*x=(12.06/1.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9342105263158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9342105263158) to get x
100/7.9342105263158=x
12.603648424544=x
x=12.603648424544

now we have:
1.52 is 12.603648424544% of 12.06
