15.29 is what percent of 483.87 - 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 483.87 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 483.87, so we can write it down as 100%=483.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=483.87
2) x%=15.29
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%=483.87/15.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.29 is what percent of 483.87

100%/x%=483.87/15.29
(100/x)*x=(483.87/15.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.646173969915*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.646173969915) to get x
100/31.646173969915=x
3.1599396532126=x
x=3.1599396532126

now we have:
