27.33 is what percent of 154.23 - 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 154.23 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 154.23, so we can write it down as 100%=154.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154.23
2) x%=27.33
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%=154.23/27.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.33 is what percent of 154.23

100%/x%=154.23/27.33
(100/x)*x=(154.23/27.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6432491767289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6432491767289) to get x
100/5.6432491767289=x
17.720287881735=x
x=17.720287881735

now we have:
27.33 is 17.720287881735% of 154.23
