150.39 is what percent of 1419.9 - 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 1419.9 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 1419.9, so we can write it down as 100%=1419.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 150.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=150.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1419.9
2) x%=150.39
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%=1419.9/150.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 150.39 is what percent of 1419.9

100%/x%=1419.9/150.39
(100/x)*x=(1419.9/150.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.441452224217*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.441452224217) to get x
100/9.441452224217=x
10.59159095711=x
x=10.59159095711

now we have:
150.39 is 10.59159095711% of 1419.9
