What is 150.5 percent of 265 - 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 265 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 265 is 100%, so we can write it down as 265=100%.
4. We know, that x is 150.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=150.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 265=100%
2) x=150.5%
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:
265/x=100%/150.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 150.5% of 265

265/x=100/150.5
(265/x)*x=(100/150.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
265=0.66445182724252*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.66445182724252) to get x
265/0.66445182724252=x
398.825=x
x=398.825

now we have:
150.5% of 265=398.825
