3.63 is what percent of 153.1 - 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 153.1 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 153.1, so we can write it down as 100%=153.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=153.1
2) x%=3.63
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%=153.1/3.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.63 is what percent of 153.1

100%/x%=153.1/3.63
(100/x)*x=(153.1/3.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=42.176308539945*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.176308539945) to get x
100/42.176308539945=x
2.3709993468321=x
x=2.3709993468321

now we have:
3.63 is 2.3709993468321% of 153.1
