156.2 is what percent of 365 - 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 365 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 365, so we can write it down as 100%=365.
4. We know, that x% equals 156.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=156.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=365
2) x%=156.2
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%=365/156.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 156.2 is what percent of 365

100%/x%=365/156.2
(100/x)*x=(365/156.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.336747759283*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.336747759283) to get x
100/2.336747759283=x
42.794520547945=x
x=42.794520547945

now we have:
156.2 is 42.794520547945% of 365
