153.12 is what percent of 353.12 - 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 353.12 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 353.12, so we can write it down as 100%=353.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=353.12
2) x%=153.12
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%=353.12/153.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.12 is what percent of 353.12

100%/x%=353.12/153.12
(100/x)*x=(353.12/153.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3061650992685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3061650992685) to get x
100/2.3061650992685=x
43.362029904848=x
x=43.362029904848

now we have:
153.12 is 43.362029904848% of 353.12
