What is 152 percent of 89 - 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 89 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 89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 152% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=152%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 89=100%
2) x=152%
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:
89/x=100%/152%
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 152% of 89

89/x=100/152
(89/x)*x=(100/152)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
89=0.65789473684211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.65789473684211) to get x
89/0.65789473684211=x
135.28=x
x=135.28

now we have:
152% of 89=135.28
