15.33 is what percent of 150 - 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 150 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 150, so we can write it down as 100%=150.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150
2) x%=15.33
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%=150/15.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.33 is what percent of 150

100%/x%=150/15.33
(100/x)*x=(150/15.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.7847358121331*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7847358121331) to get x
100/9.7847358121331=x
10.22=x
x=10.22

now we have:
15.33 is 10.22% of 150
