149.59 is what percent of 1695 - 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 1695 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 1695, so we can write it down as 100%=1695.
4. We know, that x% equals 149.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=149.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1695
2) x%=149.59
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%=1695/149.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 149.59 is what percent of 1695

100%/x%=1695/149.59
(100/x)*x=(1695/149.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.330971321612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.330971321612) to get x
100/11.330971321612=x
8.8253687315634=x
x=8.8253687315634

now we have:
149.59 is 8.8253687315634% of 1695
