23.93 is what percent of 156.29 - 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 156.29 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 156.29, so we can write it down as 100%=156.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=156.29
2) x%=23.93
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%=156.29/23.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.93 is what percent of 156.29

100%/x%=156.29/23.93
(100/x)*x=(156.29/23.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5311324697033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5311324697033) to get x
100/6.5311324697033=x
15.31128031224=x
x=15.31128031224

now we have:
23.93 is 15.31128031224% of 156.29
