153.55 is what percent of 624 - 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 624 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 624, so we can write it down as 100%=624.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=624
2) x%=153.55
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%=624/153.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.55 is what percent of 624

100%/x%=624/153.55
(100/x)*x=(624/153.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0638228590036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0638228590036) to get x
100/4.0638228590036=x
24.607371794872=x
x=24.607371794872

now we have:
153.55 is 24.607371794872% of 624
