155.01 is what percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000, so we can write it down as 100%=2000.
4. We know, that x% equals 155.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=155.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2000
2) x%=155.01
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%=2000/155.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 155.01 is what percent of 2000

100%/x%=2000/155.01
(100/x)*x=(2000/155.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.902393393975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.902393393975) to get x
100/12.902393393975=x
7.7505=x
x=7.7505

now we have:
155.01 is 7.7505% of 2000
