What is 37.037037037 percent of 157.5 - 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 157.5 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 157.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 157.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37.037037037% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.037037037%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 157.5=100%
2) x=37.037037037%
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:
157.5/x=100%/37.037037037%
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 37.037037037% of 157.5

157.5/x=100/37.037037037
(157.5/x)*x=(100/37.037037037)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
157.5=2.7000000000027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7000000000027) to get x
157.5/2.7000000000027=x
58.333333333275=x
x=58.333333333275

now we have:
37.037037037% of 157.5=58.333333333275
