236.64 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=236.64
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%=1500/236.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.64 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/236.64
(100/x)*x=(1500/236.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3387423935091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3387423935091) to get x
100/6.3387423935091=x
15.776=x
x=15.776

now we have:
236.64 is 15.776% of 1500
