20.09 is what percent of 1544.83 - 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 1544.83 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 1544.83, so we can write it down as 100%=1544.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1544.83
2) x%=20.09
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%=1544.83/20.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.09 is what percent of 1544.83

100%/x%=1544.83/20.09
(100/x)*x=(1544.83/20.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=76.895470383275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (76.895470383275) to get x
100/76.895470383275=x
1.3004667180208=x
x=1.3004667180208

now we have:
