150.53 is what percent of 592.84 - 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 592.84 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 592.84, so we can write it down as 100%=592.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 150.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=150.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=592.84
2) x%=150.53
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%=592.84/150.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 150.53 is what percent of 592.84

100%/x%=592.84/150.53
(100/x)*x=(592.84/150.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9383511592374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9383511592374) to get x
100/3.9383511592374=x
25.391336616962=x
x=25.391336616962

now we have:
