93.3 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=93.3
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%=1500/93.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.3 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/93.3
(100/x)*x=(1500/93.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.077170418006*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.077170418006) to get x
100/16.077170418006=x
6.22=x
x=6.22

now we have:
93.3 is 6.22% of 1500
