232.52 is what percent of 1534.33 - 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 1534.33 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 1534.33, so we can write it down as 100%=1534.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 232.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=232.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1534.33
2) x%=232.52
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%=1534.33/232.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 232.52 is what percent of 1534.33

100%/x%=1534.33/232.52
(100/x)*x=(1534.33/232.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5987011869947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5987011869947) to get x
100/6.5987011869947=x
15.154497402775=x
x=15.154497402775

now we have:
232.52 is 15.154497402775% of 1534.33
