15 is what percent of 136432 - 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 136432 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 136432, so we can write it down as 100%=136432.
4. We know, that x% equals 15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136432
2) x%=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%=136432/15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15 is what percent of 136432

100%/x%=136432/15
(100/x)*x=(136432/15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9095.4666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9095.4666666667) to get x
100/9095.4666666667=x
0.010994488096634=x
x=0.010994488096634

now we have:
15 is 0.010994488096634% of 136432
