15.31 is what percent of 23.43 - 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 23.43 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 23.43, so we can write it down as 100%=23.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.43
2) x%=15.31
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%=23.43/15.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.31 is what percent of 23.43

100%/x%=23.43/15.31
(100/x)*x=(23.43/15.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5303723056826*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5303723056826) to get x
100/1.5303723056826=x
65.343576611182=x
x=65.343576611182

now we have:
15.31 is 65.343576611182% of 23.43
