112.1 is what percent of 0.15 - 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 0.15 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 0.15, so we can write it down as 100%=0.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.15
2) x%=112.1
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%=0.15/112.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.1 is what percent of 0.15

100%/x%=0.15/112.1
(100/x)*x=(0.15/112.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0013380909901873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0013380909901873) to get x
100/0.0013380909901873=x
74733.333333333=x
x=74733.333333333

now we have:
112.1 is 74733.333333333% of 0.15
