47.19 is what percent of 150.15 - 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 150.15 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 150.15, so we can write it down as 100%=150.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 47.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150.15
2) x%=47.19
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%=150.15/47.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.19 is what percent of 150.15

100%/x%=150.15/47.19
(100/x)*x=(150.15/47.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1818181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1818181818182) to get x
100/3.1818181818182=x
31.428571428571=x
x=31.428571428571

now we have:
47.19 is 31.428571428571% of 150.15
