28.28 is what percent of 15.35 - 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 15.35 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 15.35, so we can write it down as 100%=15.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.35
2) x%=28.28
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%=15.35/28.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.28 is what percent of 15.35

100%/x%=15.35/28.28
(100/x)*x=(15.35/28.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.54278642149929*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54278642149929) to get x
100/0.54278642149929=x
184.2345276873=x
x=184.2345276873

now we have:
28.28 is 184.2345276873% of 15.35
