1.53 is what percent of 2.052 - 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 2.052 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 2.052, so we can write it down as 100%=2.052.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.052
2) x%=1.53
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%=2.052/1.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.53 is what percent of 2.052

100%/x%=2.052/1.53
(100/x)*x=(2.052/1.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3411764705882) to get x
100/1.3411764705882=x
74.561403508772=x
x=74.561403508772

now we have:
1.53 is 74.561403508772% of 2.052
