To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 724.28 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 724.28, so we can write it down as 100%=724.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=724.28
2) x%=151.29
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%=724.28/151.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.29 is what percent of 724.28

100%/x%=724.28/151.29
(100/x)*x=(724.28/151.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7873620199617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7873620199617) to get x
100/4.7873620199617=x
20.888330479925=x
x=20.888330479925

now we have:
