10.6 is what percent of 1530 - 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 1530 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 1530, so we can write it down as 100%=1530.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1530
2) x%=10.6
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%=1530/10.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.6 is what percent of 1530

100%/x%=1530/10.6
(100/x)*x=(1530/10.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=144.33962264151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (144.33962264151) to get x
100/144.33962264151=x
0.69281045751634=x
x=0.69281045751634

now we have:
10.6 is 0.69281045751634% of 1530
