151.32 is what percent of 605.28 - 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 605.28 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 605.28, so we can write it down as 100%=605.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=605.28
2) x%=151.32
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%=605.28/151.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.32 is what percent of 605.28

100%/x%=605.28/151.32
(100/x)*x=(605.28/151.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
100/4=x
25=x
x=25

now we have:
151.32 is 25% of 605.28
