149.31 is what percent of 607 - 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 607 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 607, so we can write it down as 100%=607.
4. We know, that x% equals 149.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=149.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=607
2) x%=149.31
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%=607/149.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 149.31 is what percent of 607

100%/x%=607/149.31
(100/x)*x=(607/149.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0653673565066*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0653673565066) to get x
100/4.0653673565066=x
24.59802306425=x
x=24.59802306425

now we have:
149.31 is 24.59802306425% of 607
