147.15 is what percent of 2160.46 - 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 2160.46 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 2160.46, so we can write it down as 100%=2160.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 147.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=147.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2160.46
2) x%=147.15
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%=2160.46/147.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 147.15 is what percent of 2160.46

100%/x%=2160.46/147.15
(100/x)*x=(2160.46/147.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.68202514441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.68202514441) to get x
100/14.68202514441=x
6.8110494987179=x
x=6.8110494987179

now we have:
