151.6 is what percent of 30320 - 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 30320 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 30320, so we can write it down as 100%=30320.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30320
2) x%=151.6
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%=30320/151.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.6 is what percent of 30320

100%/x%=30320/151.6
(100/x)*x=(30320/151.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=200*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (200) to get x
100/200=x
0.5=x
x=0.5

now we have:
151.6 is 0.5% of 30320
