153 is what percent of 2 - 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 2 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 2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.
4. We know, that x% equals 153 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=153
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%=2/153
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/153
(100/x)*x=(2/153)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.013071895424837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.013071895424837) to get x
100/0.013071895424837=x
7650=x
x=7650

now we have:
153 is 7650% of 2
