145.56 is what percent of 151.81 - 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 151.81 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 151.81, so we can write it down as 100%=151.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 145.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=145.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=151.81
2) x%=145.56
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%=151.81/145.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 145.56 is what percent of 151.81

100%/x%=151.81/145.56
(100/x)*x=(151.81/145.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0429376202253*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0429376202253) to get x
100/1.0429376202253=x
95.883011659311=x
x=95.883011659311

now we have:
145.56 is 95.883011659311% of 151.81
