15.15 is what percent of 15833.33 - 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 15833.33 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 15833.33, so we can write it down as 100%=15833.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15833.33
2) x%=15.15
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%=15833.33/15.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.15 is what percent of 15833.33

100%/x%=15833.33/15.15
(100/x)*x=(15833.33/15.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1045.104290429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1045.104290429) to get x
100/1045.104290429=x
0.095684230670364=x
x=0.095684230670364

now we have:
15.15 is 0.095684230670364% of 15833.33
