1203.12 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 1203.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1203.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=1203.12
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%=1500/1203.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1203.12 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/1203.12
(100/x)*x=(1500/1203.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.246758428087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.246758428087) to get x
100/1.246758428087=x
80.208=x
x=80.208

now we have:
1203.12 is 80.208% of 1500
