17.65 is what percent of 15.45 - 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 15.45 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 15.45, so we can write it down as 100%=15.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.45
2) x%=17.65
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%=15.45/17.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.65 is what percent of 15.45

100%/x%=15.45/17.65
(100/x)*x=(15.45/17.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.87535410764873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.87535410764873) to get x
100/0.87535410764873=x
114.23948220065=x
x=114.23948220065

now we have:
17.65 is 114.23948220065% of 15.45
