1. We assume, that the number 945.25 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 945.25, so we can write it down as 100%=945.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 149.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=149.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=945.25
2) x%=149.93
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%=945.25/149.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 149.93 is what percent of 945.25

(100/x)*x=(945.25/149.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3046088174481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3046088174481) to get x
100/6.3046088174481=x
15.861412324782=x
x=15.861412324782

now we have:
