15.69 is what percent of 351 - 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 351 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 351, so we can write it down as 100%=351.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=351
2) x%=15.69
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%=351/15.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.69 is what percent of 351

100%/x%=351/15.69
(100/x)*x=(351/15.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.370936902486*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.370936902486) to get x
100/22.370936902486=x
4.4700854700855=x
x=4.4700854700855

now we have:
15.69 is 4.4700854700855% of 351
