7.45 is what percent of 1.5 - 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 1.5 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 1.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.5
2) x%=7.45
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%=1.5/7.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.45 is what percent of 1.5

100%/x%=1.5/7.45
(100/x)*x=(1.5/7.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.20134228187919*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.20134228187919) to get x
100/0.20134228187919=x
496.66666666667=x
x=496.66666666667

now we have:
7.45 is 496.66666666667% of 1.5
