68766.12 is what percent of 150000 - 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 150000 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 150000, so we can write it down as 100%=150000.
4. We know, that x% equals 68766.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68766.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150000
2) x%=68766.12
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%=150000/68766.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68766.12 is what percent of 150000

100%/x%=150000/68766.12
(100/x)*x=(150000/68766.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1813067248814*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1813067248814) to get x
100/2.1813067248814=x
45.84408=x
x=45.84408

now we have:
68766.12 is 45.84408% of 150000
