239.19 is what percent of 1584.8 - 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 1584.8 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 1584.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1584.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 239.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=239.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1584.8
2) x%=239.19
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%=1584.8/239.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 239.19 is what percent of 1584.8

100%/x%=1584.8/239.19
(100/x)*x=(1584.8/239.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6256950541411*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6256950541411) to get x
100/6.6256950541411=x
15.092756183746=x
x=15.092756183746

now we have:
