155.08 is what percent of 235.58 - 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 235.58 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 235.58, so we can write it down as 100%=235.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 155.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=155.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=235.58
2) x%=155.08
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%=235.58/155.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 155.08 is what percent of 235.58

100%/x%=235.58/155.08
(100/x)*x=(235.58/155.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5190869228785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5190869228785) to get x
100/1.5190869228785=x
65.829017743442=x
x=65.829017743442

now we have:
