What is 95.3 percent of 150 - 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 150 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 150 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150=100%
2) x=95.3%
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:
150/x=100%/95.3%
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 95.3% of 150

150/x=100/95.3
(150/x)*x=(100/95.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150=1.0493179433368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0493179433368) to get x
150/1.0493179433368=x
142.95=x
x=142.95

now we have:
95.3% of 150=142.95
