145.3 is what percent of 154 - 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 154 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 154, so we can write it down as 100%=154.
4. We know, that x% equals 145.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=145.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154
2) x%=145.3
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%=154/145.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 145.3 is what percent of 154

100%/x%=154/145.3
(100/x)*x=(154/145.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0598761183758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0598761183758) to get x
100/1.0598761183758=x
94.350649350649=x
x=94.350649350649

now we have:
145.3 is 94.350649350649% of 154
