243.08 is what percent of 1514.33 - 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 1514.33 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 1514.33, so we can write it down as 100%=1514.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1514.33
2) x%=243.08
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%=1514.33/243.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.08 is what percent of 1514.33

100%/x%=1514.33/243.08
(100/x)*x=(1514.33/243.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.2297597498766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2297597498766) to get x
100/6.2297597498766=x
16.051983385392=x
x=16.051983385392

now we have:
243.08 is 16.051983385392% of 1514.33
