121.48 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 121.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=121.48
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%=1500/121.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.48 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/121.48
(100/x)*x=(1500/121.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.347711557458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.347711557458) to get x
100/12.347711557458=x
8.0986666666667=x
x=8.0986666666667

now we have:
121.48 is 8.0986666666667% of 1500
