151.68 is what percent of 1560 - 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 1560 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 1560, so we can write it down as 100%=1560.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1560
2) x%=151.68
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%=1560/151.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.68 is what percent of 1560

100%/x%=1560/151.68
(100/x)*x=(1560/151.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.284810126582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.284810126582) to get x
100/10.284810126582=x
9.7230769230769=x
x=9.7230769230769

now we have:
151.68 is 9.7230769230769% of 1560
