115.2 is what percent of 609.7 - 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 609.7 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 609.7, so we can write it down as 100%=609.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=609.7
2) x%=115.2
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%=609.7/115.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.2 is what percent of 609.7

100%/x%=609.7/115.2
(100/x)*x=(609.7/115.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2925347222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2925347222222) to get x
100/5.2925347222222=x
18.894538297523=x
x=18.894538297523

now we have:
115.2 is 18.894538297523% of 609.7
