154.9 is what percent of 413.08 - 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 413.08 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 413.08, so we can write it down as 100%=413.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 154.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=154.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=413.08
2) x%=154.9
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%=413.08/154.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 154.9 is what percent of 413.08

100%/x%=413.08/154.9
(100/x)*x=(413.08/154.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6667527437056*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6667527437056) to get x
100/2.6667527437056=x
37.498789580711=x
x=37.498789580711

now we have:
154.9 is 37.498789580711% of 413.08
