154.19 is what percent of 159.33 - 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 159.33 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 159.33, so we can write it down as 100%=159.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 154.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=154.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=159.33
2) x%=154.19
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%=159.33/154.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 154.19 is what percent of 159.33

100%/x%=159.33/154.19
(100/x)*x=(159.33/154.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0333354951683*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0333354951683) to get x
100/1.0333354951683=x
96.77399108768=x
x=96.77399108768

now we have:
154.19 is 96.77399108768% of 159.33
