151.25 is what percent of 1162 - 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 1162 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 1162, so we can write it down as 100%=1162.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1162
2) x%=151.25
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%=1162/151.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.25 is what percent of 1162

100%/x%=1162/151.25
(100/x)*x=(1162/151.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6826446280992*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6826446280992) to get x
100/7.6826446280992=x
13.016351118761=x
x=13.016351118761

now we have:
151.25 is 13.016351118761% of 1162
