153.68 is what percent of 273.6 - 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 273.6 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 273.6, so we can write it down as 100%=273.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=273.6
2) x%=153.68
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%=273.6/153.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.68 is what percent of 273.6

100%/x%=273.6/153.68
(100/x)*x=(273.6/153.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7803227485685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7803227485685) to get x
100/1.7803227485685=x
56.169590643275=x
x=56.169590643275

now we have:
153.68 is 56.169590643275% of 273.6
