64.02 is what percent of 154.02 - 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 154.02 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 154.02, so we can write it down as 100%=154.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154.02
2) x%=64.02
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%=154.02/64.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.02 is what percent of 154.02

100%/x%=154.02/64.02
(100/x)*x=(154.02/64.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4058106841612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4058106841612) to get x
100/2.4058106841612=x
41.566030385664=x
x=41.566030385664

now we have:
64.02 is 41.566030385664% of 154.02
