177.34 is what percent of 150 - 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 150 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 150, so we can write it down as 100%=150.
4. We know, that x% equals 177.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=177.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150
2) x%=177.34
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%=150/177.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 177.34 is what percent of 150

100%/x%=150/177.34
(100/x)*x=(150/177.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.84583286342619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84583286342619) to get x
100/0.84583286342619=x
118.22666666667=x
x=118.22666666667

now we have:
177.34 is 118.22666666667% of 150
