1.52 is what percent of 378.62 - 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 378.62 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 378.62, so we can write it down as 100%=378.62.
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%=378.62
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%=378.62/1.52
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 378.62

100%/x%=378.62/1.52
(100/x)*x=(378.62/1.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=249.09210526316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (249.09210526316) to get x
100/249.09210526316=x
0.40145792615287=x
x=0.40145792615287

now we have:
1.52 is 0.40145792615287% of 378.62
