153.24 is what percent of 2850 - 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 2850 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 2850, so we can write it down as 100%=2850.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2850
2) x%=153.24
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%=2850/153.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.24 is what percent of 2850

100%/x%=2850/153.24
(100/x)*x=(2850/153.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.598277212216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.598277212216) to get x
100/18.598277212216=x
5.3768421052632=x
x=5.3768421052632

now we have:
153.24 is 5.3768421052632% of 2850
