153.86 is what percent of 182.12 - 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 182.12 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 182.12, so we can write it down as 100%=182.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=182.12
2) x%=153.86
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%=182.12/153.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.86 is what percent of 182.12

100%/x%=182.12/153.86
(100/x)*x=(182.12/153.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1836734693878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1836734693878) to get x
100/1.1836734693878=x
84.48275862069=x
x=84.48275862069

now we have:
