513.61 is what percent of 0.15 - 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 0.15 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 0.15, so we can write it down as 100%=0.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 513.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=513.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.15
2) x%=513.61
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%=0.15/513.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 513.61 is what percent of 0.15

100%/x%=0.15/513.61
(100/x)*x=(0.15/513.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00029205038842702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00029205038842702) to get x
100/0.00029205038842702=x
342406.66666667=x
x=342406.66666667

now we have:
513.61 is 342406.66666667% of 0.15
