152.75 is what percent of 1850 - 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 1850 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 1850, so we can write it down as 100%=1850.
4. We know, that x% equals 152.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=152.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1850
2) x%=152.75
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%=1850/152.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 152.75 is what percent of 1850

100%/x%=1850/152.75
(100/x)*x=(1850/152.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.111292962357*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.111292962357) to get x
100/12.111292962357=x
8.2567567567568=x
x=8.2567567567568

now we have:
152.75 is 8.2567567567568% of 1850
