20.07 is what percent of 153.09 - 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 153.09 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 153.09, so we can write it down as 100%=153.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=153.09
2) x%=20.07
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%=153.09/20.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.07 is what percent of 153.09

100%/x%=153.09/20.07
(100/x)*x=(153.09/20.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.627802690583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.627802690583) to get x
100/7.627802690583=x
13.109935332158=x
x=13.109935332158

now we have:
20.07 is 13.109935332158% of 153.09
