15.1 is what percent of 133 - 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 133 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 133, so we can write it down as 100%=133.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=133
2) x%=15.1
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%=133/15.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.1 is what percent of 133

100%/x%=133/15.1
(100/x)*x=(133/15.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8079470198675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8079470198675) to get x
100/8.8079470198675=x
11.353383458647=x
x=11.353383458647

now we have:
15.1 is 11.353383458647% of 133
