155.2 is what percent of 360000 - 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 360000 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 360000, so we can write it down as 100%=360000.
4. We know, that x% equals 155.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=155.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=360000
2) x%=155.2
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%=360000/155.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 155.2 is what percent of 360000

100%/x%=360000/155.2
(100/x)*x=(360000/155.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2319.587628866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2319.587628866) to get x
100/2319.587628866=x
0.043111111111111=x
x=0.043111111111111

now we have:
155.2 is 0.043111111111111% of 360000
