150.9 is what percent of 29.3 - 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 29.3 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 29.3, so we can write it down as 100%=29.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 150.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=150.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.3
2) x%=150.9
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%=29.3/150.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 150.9 is what percent of 29.3

100%/x%=29.3/150.9
(100/x)*x=(29.3/150.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.19416832339298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.19416832339298) to get x
100/0.19416832339298=x
515.01706484642=x
x=515.01706484642

now we have:
150.9 is 515.01706484642% of 29.3
