1.55 is what percent of 17.92 - 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 17.92 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 17.92, so we can write it down as 100%=17.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.92
2) x%=1.55
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%=17.92/1.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.55 is what percent of 17.92

100%/x%=17.92/1.55
(100/x)*x=(17.92/1.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.561290322581*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.561290322581) to get x
100/11.561290322581=x
8.6495535714286=x
x=8.6495535714286

now we have:
1.55 is 8.6495535714286% of 17.92
