115.03 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=115.03
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%=1500/115.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.03 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/115.03
(100/x)*x=(1500/115.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.040076501782*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.040076501782) to get x
100/13.040076501782=x
7.6686666666667=x
x=7.6686666666667

now we have:
115.03 is 7.6686666666667% of 1500
