303.56 is what percent of 152.78 - 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 152.78 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 152.78, so we can write it down as 100%=152.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 303.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=303.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=152.78
2) x%=303.56
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%=152.78/303.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 303.56 is what percent of 152.78

100%/x%=152.78/303.56
(100/x)*x=(152.78/303.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.50329424166557*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.50329424166557) to get x
100/0.50329424166557=x
198.69092813195=x
x=198.69092813195

now we have:
303.56 is 198.69092813195% of 152.78
