9.49 is what percent of 152.99 - 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 152.99 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 152.99, so we can write it down as 100%=152.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=152.99
2) x%=9.49
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%=152.99/9.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.49 is what percent of 152.99

100%/x%=152.99/9.49
(100/x)*x=(152.99/9.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.121180189673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.121180189673) to get x
100/16.121180189673=x
6.203019805216=x
x=6.203019805216

now we have:
9.49 is 6.203019805216% of 152.99
